Yeah, I here ya Doc. Temps could be addressed a few ways though. Shielding, coating, or wrapping. Maybe we could come up with bracing from the primary tube's and a shield or something that you bolt to the braces after you bolt the headers in? Maybe coat and shield but then cost plays a factor... Hmmm.
The plug extensions would be easy for me to pump out quickly. Take the stock plug - 02, cut it in the middle and add extensions with shrink wrap over the joints and the whole thing.
Another problem I see is the joint from the long tube's to the exhaust. Whoever buys will need a welder to weld it together.
Maybe my welder and I should look at complete header back exhaust kits?
My set will be long tube as well. He won't bother with shorty's unless it's at a business aspect to attract more customers.
