So my header installed went south real quick when I found out that my dipstick tube was rusted and stuck in the damn oil pan. It ended up coming out in pieces via vise grips and hammer. It definitely added some time to the install but the headers are in and the truck is far from quiet lol. Gotta make a call to the local GM dealer for a new tube on Monday.
Oh man that sucks, but at least you got it all taken care of. I just bought a dipstick and tube from the dealer last week, for $30 total out the door. Did you do long tubes or shorties? I've been wanting some Dynatech's BAD, but the $1,500 price tag has held me back.
Pacesetter long tubes.
