Cool Hey Texas-Speed....

You guys are JERKS.

So I was driving to a friend's house, and I started hearing some buzzing that was varying based on the engine speed as I was driving around town. I started getting a little worried, but I didn't see any problems. I thought it was something that got kicked up onto the exhaust, so no problem.

Then I round a corner onto an onramp (a bit quickly, of course) and I hear something metallic clang and bounce off the road. I see a flash or two as this mystery piece bounces to the shoulder. I immediately pull to the shoulder in a panic, kill the engine, and try to find what piece just fell off my car, leaving me stranded in the middle of an onramp.

This is what I see. Nothing actually wrong, just..... panic inducing for sure.


You guys/gals are great, and I'm very happy with these headers (especially for the money) but DAMMIT this scared the hell out of me.

Even their name plate doesn't like their headers! Just kidding! For the price they're hard to beat.
