Default The Wait Is Killing Me

I have gauges sitting in a box waiting to be installed. When the truck goes to get those installed I also pickup my exhaust. This sucks waiting. End of rant.

I've got a 4 in Silverline system coming. Straight all the way through.

As far as putting in the gauges, eh yeah I don't have a problem drilling and tapping threads but on a truck I'd just feel better having some one else with the knowledge of doing it before. My luck is I'd break the tap off.

The metal is very soft that ain't a problem, but it's also a bad idea. The stock manifolds are more likely to crack if you drill and tap them.

Replace with a BD manifold and no worries about tapping at all
