i called hedman headers already and they said the same thing...call
JBA...but the 1-800 # they gave me doesn't work....don't know how to get
in contact with them. Plus i should let them know that I just now
ordered the new Flowmaster CAT-BACK kit with the 50 series muffler from
my roommate at LORDCO this morning. Plus...if anyone needs to know some
pricing on lift kits.....suspension ones that is....from EZ-RIDE a 5-1/2
including shocks is $1295 US and the Ranco 3" from 4 wheel parts
wholesalers is on for$1339.98 with the RS5000 Shocks (decent
considering the independant front suspension on these things).
