I am the worlds worst, least informed, naive, uneducated, and ignorant
mechanic in the world. No apologies, just the way it is. Can someone
explain to me exactly what headpipes are. I have a 97 Dak with the
smaller magnum 8, 4x4, 5 speed. And don't laugh! You don't have to be
a great mechanic to love your Dak.
