Yeah if they start leaking then I will spring for the better gaskets and locking bolts.I just figured why not give theses a try and save the money if possible.

Well I feel like a complete douche!1st I started it up and realized it was idling low and when I gave it gas it popped,I had the 2 and 4 spark plug crossed.I went to shut it off and realized thatthe stupid alarm that locks itself once it's running did just that.So I pulled a vaccum hose and killed it.Once I got back inside(pulled window out and opened the t-top to unlock) I restarted after fixing the crossed wires I took it for a test drive.It was popping and sputtering.I got home,popped the hood again and found that the 5 and 7 were crossed too.
I took it out again and it flys up to 5,500 rpm.Ofcourse that's with an open Y pipe which is loud and obnoxious as crap.
I got a sound clip but is was wwith 4 crossed wires so I'll get another one tomorrow before I get it welded.

I thought Idid but I guess not.I went to grab the spare key and realized that it was still on the main key ring.I pulls alot better now.The bottom end isn't as strong but I'm sure once the rest of the system is hooked up it'll be back.

Happy late birthday.
Here is the clip of the headers with everything welded up.It's much louder than it was before,deeper and hollower.I love it.Noticable power gain too.
