68000 miles...I hope tat class action against DC for this goes well, since I had to spend $400 on a Banks Torque Tube header, found on

Joseph P did pass the time by typing:

wow! Mine was just starting to go around the lower collector. I had some issues fitting the Banks header (motor mount was in the way by about 1/8") But a bit of grinding fixed that. :)

Bill, do you think that situation applies to me here? There was at most about 24 inches of pipe (#1 cylinder) to about 6 inches (#4/5 cylinders.) So, you think I was at risk at those cylinders, the exhaust *valve* *warping* anyway. The pipes were seperated by about 1/8 inch at rest, no telling under load/road conditions.
