Default headers

i have a simple question. does anyone know where i could get a set of headers installed in mid missouri, there are a ton of exhaust shops around here but no one seems to want to do my headers.

so far everywhere iv checked has said they wont do it. i did find one guy with his own shop off to the side but the turd wont call me. gone to see him twice and he says ill call you tomarrow and 2 friggin weeks ltr still havent heard anything. im still checkin around. i would love to put them on myself but just dont have the time or a welder or pipe bender i know they have to be welded at the collector and i also want to get rid of my muffler all together so i need a custome peice of pipe to fit there. im still lookin.

I hope that was a joke and I really don't have to actually explain why this is so wrong...If you weren't joking let me know so I can explain though.

i dont recommend installing headers.. after a few weeks and or months. if you bottom out enought, you will crack them and there a pain in the a** to take out. just put a new exsust on it and your good to go
