manifold too short
i just bought a brand new dynamite 086 pipe, and the manifold is too short on it. the stinger doesn't even go to the hole in the body. is there a way i can lengthen the manifold without destroying it? i've tried heating it to bend it, but that wasn't to successful. trying to use a screwdriver to widen it, only made dents. any ideas?

Why not just cut another hole in the body? When I put my STS D21B in with my STS pipe it was a little longer so I just cut the body.

Our first race of the year was back in February. I love the south this time of year but when summer gets here I hate them 100 plus degree days. We have all ready had 2 rounds of the Georgia Champion ship series.

RE: manifold too short
i know what ya mean about summers in the south 46u. i went to savannah to visit my sister in august last year, and it was HOT. i was outside running my monster gt and just sweating, and i was mainly just standing there.
