Just a question about the silicon bronze. I've seen this used before and have done a little research. Are you just using this on the parts that you don't deem structural? It sure makes pretty looking welds. I thought I had read somewhere that it makes a weaker weld and shouldn't be used on structural joints.

I'm just curious - trying to learn.

I like the clearance modifications for the exhaust. You can tell that you've been down that road before with a Camaro. It's always nice to have those previous experiences to draw on.

Correct. Non structural- sheetmetal. Like you would not want to use it for welding the subframe to the subframe conectors or welding together a roll cage

The Lemons headers fit great - even with the 2" primaries.

I've heard a lot of good things about those Lemon's Headers.
What are your opinions? They look like they fit awesome.
THANKS!!

They do look having a great fit!! Why they dont make those in stainless? I would take a set asap

Well I will say this, they fit awesome, look awesome, quality is awesome, they tuck up nice and dont hardly hang down below the frame, easy access to the plugs, nice beefy flanges.... plus Dan is great to work with
