Mr. Truck
Well, I have about 650-700 miles on this setup now. No real problems.
The only think I would tell someone doing this is DO NOT mount your O2 sensor on the driver's in the TBI location... go ahead and plug that hole and mount it on the collectors. Your PCM is much happier that way.
Also, as expected, the paint burns off these things pretty badly. Mine are already not looking as hott as they did originally, and I never go off road or dirt. I plan to have them ceramic coated this summer when I do my cam install.
But yeah, best mod for your buck you can do to these trucks, imo. Still recommend it!
Yeah my headers are pretty much just a big ol pile of rust now.. I would reccomend stainless or ceramic over these.. buy for the price you cant go wrong.
Also for the 96 and 97 it can all be tuned out, 411 pcm is not necessary for this.
