well today was nothing but bad news and problems

went to mess around with the exhaust and right away i noticed a big problem. the driver side header is alittle off. What i mean is the collector at the end of the four individual tubes is actually at an angle going up towards the floor pan. making it impossible to put the pipe on as it hits the trans cross member. the header clears the floor but at the angle it is off. The other side clears perfect.

figure i have to take the system to get on at a shop so they can bent that pipe alittle to make it clear. Do see how it would be possible to change the header itself.


So I figured id bleed the brakes as i needed to do that anyway. When I did both the front new calipers were leaking at the banjo bolt. Both the banjo bolts and copper o-rings are brand new.
