As it turns out, the new MAC's will be arriving in a couple of days... 2-2 Headpipes and megaphones.
I'd like to do the install right the first time. Sorry, lots of questions.
Obviously, proper tuning is essential but until I find somebody with skills, that'll work for beer... should I try "Blue-shield", "Dyno-kote" or a high-temp paint to avoid discoloration?
Would like to prevent rust as well... any good products out there?
I've also read some people use a muffler sealant and loctite while others use anti-seize.
A buddy recommended wiping down the pipes with alcohol before starting to remove fingerprint "burn-in" ?
Pretty sure I need replacement rings or gaskets, not sure how many or which kind.
And finally, what was the general consensus on Exhaust Port Optimizers?
Thanks again everybody.
