I bought "cut-off wheels" for my angle grinder and they worked fine for cutting open struts for Koni inserts. Those should work eh? Or do I need an extra thin metal cutting blade?

I'll tell you one thing, I'm definitely losing less exhaust out through the probe now than I was through the UP gasket I just replaced. The car feels much more responsive (and sounds better too)....

LOL @ Dean. It's stripped good. The plug would not have bit. I didn't know bleach causes rust. Should I coat the threads of the bolt with that before screwing it in?

Rusty didn't say nobody in Reno could do it, just that he didn't know of anyone who could. But I really want to call the shop that you had your headers welded at.
