Complete Exhaust Recommendations

[sprdv1]

If I had to make one change I would have brought the exit a little farther back. Otherwise it has been a great change both exhaust tone and eye appeal.

good good... always learn little changes after the fact right

This makes sense. I’m still looking for feedback from anyone that got the blueprint Bronco engine. Blueprint said not to put headers on it until after break in and to use a manifold instead. Then a different tech told me you can go with headers but heats gonna be an issue. Would love to know what others experiences were and what route they went.

I don't have a "blueprint Bronco" engine but a new engine is a new engine is a new engine.

It's my understanding that this is an old wives tale about break in and headers and applies to non-roller engines, which is all there used to be. I also believe you can just run 20-30 minutes max at a time to break it in if you want to be doubly sure, or laser temp the headers to be sure not to let them get too hot.

It was my plan to break my engine in anyway with the long tube headers I have and then replace them with some nice ceramic ones after break in but then I realized that was dumb and bought the Duff kit and Drake ceramic shorties.

If I kill the headers, they weren't that expensive...I can have them recoated or wrap them.
