Subject:Re: Exhaust Question: Stock, S&S, or Stebro?

I have a S&S header on my 1987 Syncro, and noticed a huge difference in
everything from performance (pick up) to mileage as well as a lower
"note". It cost me about $350 installed from Vintage Performance in
Minnesota (jjbbhome@ll.net), and I was told the installation was "flawless".

I have another Van needing an exhaust in about 2-3 months, and I'll
probably get the same S&S, though this time I'll get the ceramic coated
version. If Stebro offered a header, I'd REALLY look @ that. The only
drawback on the S&S is that is's steel, and in the salt belt, it kind of
suck.

There you go -
