Holly Snipers tend to run rich. These help with the gas smell in the Chick Fil A line
 
Back at it today.

Got the stuff from powder and lots of parts so I'm diving in.

Got all the shackles in.

I replaced all of the M10 studs (this must be a 3F head) with M10/M12 step studs to get the larger stud size for the header. They make it fit better. The M10 did not feel right.

All in. Now the exhaust is hitting the new shackles in the rear with everything permanently bolted in. The Wizard has been summoned to remedy

I found stuff to do while the Wizard dicked around with the new hanger local.

Added Redline to the Trans and Tcase. If you have any grinding or noise this stuff is magic. This one was pretty quiet but this will shut it all the way up

Had a couple of powder pieces under here to install

Added a new seal and flange to the rear 3.70

Got the flange bolted in with a Remflex gasket and the O2 in place

The Wizard rotated the tail pipe out of the muffler to clear the shackle and then added a new hanger

I’m going to have to try that redline in my trans/ transfer. Mine is kind of loud now that it’s a few inches further forward

It really shines if you have any grinding
