hmm, i just tried searching (and damn the 1 minute wait) for that title, even just black betty, and i cant find anything. if its not a hassle, can you point me to it.
thanks.

i rang a local truck exhaust shop and they can do a drive in/drive out service of all new studs and machining for about $300. i have no idea how far my manifold has warped. driving it 500kms back home had me worried, but it didnt get any worse. very minimal soot too.
