    Stock headers with custom flanges welded on where the cats used to be. I thought I had uploaded these pics here, maybe not.

    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    I know you had the flanges made and I could have missed the pictures. When I swap I’ll just go to headers

    If you guys ever need flanges and don't have access to laser cutting equipment, I have access to a flange database of 1500+ parts and can normally get you a part number

    Make sure you get all of your links done and then decide on headers. I would have ended up cutting up Doug Thorleys to make them fit with my setup.

    Good to know, I'll keep that in mind. :thumbsup:

    Exactly. I was at my buddies professional auto shop last night and bled the brakes again to no avail. The MC has to be bad or undersized, so I'm going to fix that problem. The single lines leading from the MC and hitting a T at the axles is exceedingly common, so that's not it.

    Thanks bud. It's too bad it was dark by the time I got over to your place, but we made the best of it. Once she's fully buttoned up we'll have a meet in the daylight. :D

    Truth

    Thank you!

    I actually considered running the exhaust up into the bed so I could put a larger muffler on it.

    Learning new things! :) Brakes frustrate me as well, especially on mountain bikes, they just never seem to work exactly right.

    Thanks again for the mc and booster @Torspd. I'm waiting on some overnight parts from Japan and then I'll be ready to get this sucker installed!

    Downside is that every time you drive it, it's going to start pulling toward the nearest track day.

    Swapping the booster in is not quite as straight forward as I was lead to believe. The plunger is significantly shorter than the taco one, so that had to be lengthened. And let me tell you, it's not fun to remove the brake pedal. I needed to compare the lengths and make sure my modified plunger would work, so the pedal had to come out.

    The new booster is installed and the pedal is back in now. I'm waiting on UPS to show up with my overnight order. If they don't show up tonight I'm going to be PISSED!
