Yep, just got an email on that subject myself. Kansas Kustoms says the success rate with the newer I-6 manifolds is so low they don't take those jobs anymore. I think if you clean up the manifold to match the gasket and run the header pipe into a glass pack and then just dump the glass pack on the ground it is MUCH better than stock. My stock exhaust had something like five 90 degree bends in it! The problem with dumping a glass pack on the ground right at the header pipe is that it echos really loud in the cab, but hey, like I've often said, If it's to loud, you're to old!!!
