[SPOCNE] Anyone want a 91-92 OEM header?

[C. Thomas]

I have a cracked (and not welded) Hotshot as well if anyone wants it.

I highly recommend the OEM header though. Power gains are probably about
equal to the HotShot and while it may be a little heavier if properly
installed it won't crack.  A couple of notes, you will want to source the
OEM bracket that secures the down pipe to the underside of the engine. This
piece is critical to prevent banging and the lack of a similar piece is why
I think the HotShots crack.  However once you have the OEM bracket in place
you may find that the down pipe doesn't line up with the exhaust. A little
experimenting with slip fit exhaust clamps, straight exhaust pipe and maybe
a smaller flex pipe and it will fit just fine. If you need help getting all
the pieces to line up together I recommend Lou's Custom Exhaust,
particularly the North Reading location.
