Always badass blankets Levi, almost too nice to put on :angel:;)

I had to remove my PPE manifolds/up pipes due to the passenger side rubbing the frame at spoolup at the track and the driver manifold starting to melt the heatwrapped 3/4" oil cooler lines, and didnt have enough room on that side to do anything different. Plus I honestly didnt notice much with them. Nothing against PPE, but they didnt impress me for the $$. So had to go. Went back to stock manifold/LML and RDL 2 1/4" Xtreme up pipes. Too much dynamat, heat tape, and heat blankets made it kinda tuff to squeeze my little azz between the engine and the firewall :rofl: Everything lined up like butter. :thumb::thumb:

How's it run?

Idles good so far, letting some garage heat cycles set in before I go drive it to avoid the :eek::eek::eek: when I smell burning coolant on my downpipe :D
Brian,

You have any pics of our manifolds hitting the frame? if not where was the issue?


I can take some pics of the frame, same place as the RDL's do as well with stock engine mounts. I mainly removed them due to the oil cooler line issue.

So Cal.
Ok makes a bit more sense now.... Thanks

Anybody else have an issue with the manifolds hitting the frame? I know I don't have an issue on either of my trucks (one with merchant mounts and the other having stock mounts).
