& I've got a flat spot in my otherwise round left side header pipe, just
& before it runs under the middle of the truck to join the right pipe to
& go to the muffler.
&
& Does anyone else have this, or do I smell a warrantee replacement part
& in my future? It looks strange, but its a neat compression, so it makes
& me wonder wether or not it was intentional. Surely it can't be helping
& performance any...

Let me guess. You have a 5-speed? The kink is a standard "feature".
It is pretty severe isn't it? Bill said the Mopar headers made a
huge performance improvement, not surprising considering this
constriction.
