Its a distinct possibility after so many years sitting in front of computer displays.
I'd have bought my plumbing from Fab had I known he carried that kind of stuff :(

I just noticed... y u -10 drain?
EFR is tapped for 3/8" NPT and they recommend -8 in the manual. I mean, bigger is probably better, but I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a flange or not for mine.

I don't think that list is 100% accurate, I changed it a bit on my final order.
I just hope I bought the correct connectors for everything, guess we'll find out Thurs/Fri when it arrives.

It stays clean because I don't like working on dirty things. Plus, when you clean often, it is easy. It's only when it builds up when it becomes a PITA.
Here is a small peek at the setup. Install was easy, ridiculously so. It took a bit to wrap my brain around how to align all the vband flanges correctly, not due to things being misaligned, just never worked with aligning 4 flanges before. It isn't rubbing on anything either, it clears the heater core hoses perfectly and slipped in between the transmission and firewall without effort.
Unfortunately he couldn't get the connectors to me on time, the company he drop shipped from dropped the ball, not FAB9's fault. I need to weld a foot long section onto my downpipe to meet up with my ARTech midpipe. Twas Saturday though, so no welder was available.
It really is a beautiful manifold and downpipe. Just full of oontzy quality. Exhaust manifold nuts have never been easier to torque down, and super easy to get a wrench on all of them.
I'm at my parents new house right now, so no internet yet, so I'll upload some more photos on Monday, but I got this one up.

Power washer + steam cleaner + long hair brush for the gunned on crap and then a quick once over with the steam cleaner once a month...maybe I have just done it so often I have a system and it's easier for me?...
