Re: Anybody used Doug's Headers on a 4wd?

I took them off because i'm getting old and its harder and harder for me to climb up into a lifted truck to work on it, the headers require stubby plugs and fiberglass sleeves over the boots, some plugs were reachable from under the truck some from above, a couple thru the fender well/frame gap using a socket and long extension and a wobblie with tape around it to keep it from flopping over. I also had to make a custom wrench out of a socket and wrench handle welded together. I went back to ram horns so i could do a plug change while standing on a step ladder with a socket/extension/ratchet. When i was younger this stuff was not an issue like today

That said i miss the mild lope i got out of them with my mild cam, there is slightly less torque off the bottom now as well. The pictures shown are like a flashback of my truck, probably some pic's in my build thread if ya feel like combing thru it.
