So my heat riser is stuck pretty hard and I've spent a week soaking it in PB Blaster while tapping each side with a hammer back and forth with no major moves toward it unsticking. I can feel a little lateral movement, but not much else, and I'm feeling like I may have to split the manifolds to see what is going on so I can fix it.

This got me to thinking about just going with the dual Fenton or William's exhaust and be done with the heat riser all together. So I started digging on the internet and found what I thought was a deal that had to be too good to be true - National Chevy Association has William's headers and full header back exhaust with glass-packs for $600. Thinking it was too good to be true, I came back to the bolt and found it had already been thoroughly reviewed and this kit does seem to be too good to be true!! (see thread below).

Since that thread is from 2014, has anyone lately found a good complete package for dual exhaust? From what I have read here, the best sound is the straight through duals and glass packs with no crossover or shared muffler. I can find Fenton headers and a nice looking header-back exhaust package from Patrick's, but not a straight through system. Do most just go to a muffler shop and have them build a header back exhaust? That just sounds more expensive.

I know this subject has been talked about several times here, but I am hopeful there is a good kit out there somewhere.

Thanks,
