<div>The trouble with welding is that the two sides need to come apart to get the headers out. I’m not sure of the process but it seems to me the slip joint needs to be resized for what had to originally be a friction-sealable fit. His earlier set of 180s
had a flat flange and gasket that met in the middle, but it was kind of big and ugly. His current set are so much sexier I’m sure he’s getting laid more.

Pantera is running great. Did not need to change the oil but did so anyway. Took her out for a hard drive and all is well…..EXCEPT the 180’s at the cross over balance tube started rattling. Not as noticeable once the headers are hot but I am deaf too. Neighbor
came by and asked if everything was good (he heard it too!)…he put a gloved hand on the balance tube and the rattling stopped. I Suggested he may need to sit in the engine bay in 14 days or I just go faster so I cant hear the sound.

Checked all the header bolts but problem is at center tube where there is a slip connection. But if that is all I have to complain about I am ready. Checked out the new trailer and it is ready aa well.
