I have looked at the Fulsac kit already, trouble is by the time i get it shipped to the UK and pay the import duty its almost the same price as a set of true dual headers!
spent the evening last night going over it, had the Y piece out and checked it over, its fine, compared it to the brand new one i have and the chrome plating thats been done has added to the size of the pipes so i will need to grind the ends down before i fit it, so i fitted the old one back one, new exhaust gaskets as i had them sitting there, then had the intake off and re-seated it all, the rubber seal could do with replacing i think, its starting to look a bit perished but is still sealing fine.
by the time i finished the above it was to late to go for a ride so will have to wait and see if its done anything.
Thanks for the input guys its appreciated.

I had a twinkie road king I was blasting down the freeway at night-I was quite suprised to look down and see the pipe glowing red!! There was nothing really wrong with it just a lot of heat out of the rear pipe! (I know twinkies tend to run a bit hotter than Evo's,I just thought it was worth mentioning!)
