Re: Sloppy shifter when temperature drops

Do the fluid change first.
I went from 2/3 gear oil - 1/3 ATF mix in my Gforce T5 to 2/3 Royal Purple Synchromax - 1/3 gear oil and noticed the difference right away with temp changes.

re: Single vs. Dual pipe exhaust flow, which is better?

That was a good episode. At that horsepower level, the single 3" is enough, BUT you need a good flowing muffler to go with it, since there is only one. That episode really showcased that.

Re: Dyno Don's Headers

Nice, but they are long tubes, and for autos only.
I suspect Dyno Don's appealed to many because they are shorties, and follow the stock exhaust route.
