If you have thin skin you should stick to the sites with kittens.
Honestly they are much more agreeable over on Moparts.

Did Carl pass on??Honestly they are much more agreeable over on Moparts.
I've noticed some members here that came from there but it's been a good 10+ years since being active there so I won't know who has come here from there that signed up within that timeline. The mods there were ruthless for a good long time....Back there at Moparts....Overnight from 10 until 6 this morning, I counted 9 new posts in the general forum. Nine. There is easily double that here, maybe triple.
To many people that pickup a wrench, an think they are a mechanic. I remember the old days when you bought headers for a new Mopar and they didnt come even close to fitting any thing but the bolt pattern on the cyl. head. In 1968 when i went to the drag races, and wanted to see the store bought headers, on factory cars, they were custom built. not out of a box at the local parts house. all the best.The little red x is annoying but people are entitled to have opinions. This is a public forum and when you post stuff you have to be understanding that all people will not agree with you. The better thing to do is to just ignore the negative comments. I am sure no one here is intending on making fun or belittling you. Its just that people have opinions and they all have the belief that they are as right as you are. I wouldn't sweat it..
Makes me feel like a tool, putting on TTI headers. Never learned to weld, to my lasting shame. IDK how I look my wife in the eye every night...To many people that pickup a wrench, an think they are a mechanic.

I do agree theres nothing having to fabricate 700.00 headers.. lol I saw Steve beat the snot out of David freiburgers brand new TTI headers.. lol you can’t account for every combination of car/engine out there. So on the fly asjustments are needed. You have to be part mechanic and part fabricator to make stuff work.To many people that pickup a wrench, an think they are a mechanic.

The stock manifolds on the 60's cars were H.P. it was always said back then they were better than headers. But that was just hype. I worked on cars then and also worked in a speed shop store. Dyno tested the Headers did give more HP than the stock HP, but not trashing stock headers, they performed excellent and were HP parts. Most everyone wanted Hooker Headers back then and cherry bombs. Don't quit writing just stop complaining.I have been posting some things I have run into to help other MOPAR members that may run into the same things. I get some disagreements on some of my posts. I find it strange. I posted that STOCK HP exhaust manifolds were designed to give max HP and many times are better then headers. The Disagree postings started. I mentioned STOCK engines not built. Also, I ask all the know everything members to think how many HEADERS were available in 1969, 1970 and must I continue? So I will not post any more things that I have run into. I do not have the knowledge as so many young people have.
Watch Nick's Garage on Youtube stock HP manifolds vs Headers. Headers giver around 28 horse greater. Headers were available in 1969 and 70 as aftermarket products by Hooker and othersI have been posting some things I have run into to help other MOPAR members that may run into the same things.

That was a great site 5 years ago. I still visit there but there is not much action there anymore most of the good people have passed on or went to other forums...Back there at Moparts....Overnight from 10 until 6 this morning, I counted 9 new posts in the general forum.
