Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll be sure to post in here when I get back to working on this. Might be waiting a while longer. :) Cheers everyone!

Great tips! Yes, I've seen that thread with the exhaust adapter and this is what I planned to do. If I keep the stock headers, will I still need to re-tune the carbs with different mufflers? Already put stainless brake lines on, the original ones were completely cracked, and I will consider a...
