Thanks. The RarelyL8 headers are paired with the Hoonigan modular catless muffler. When I first got it, it was crazy loud and really hollow sounding while both cruising and also in the upper RPMs. But I neutered the sound by putting a catalytic converter on it and that really chilled it out but I'm sure my neighbors are a lot happier lol. Because the Hoonigan is modular, the catalytic converter is easily removable if I want to go back to having that amazing (and loud) sound.
In this case, I was doing some higher RPM WOT testing. I took it up to near 7K RPMs in second gear and when I pushed in the clutch to shift, the car backfired and lost power. My distributor cap actually popped off and so I was hoping it would be fixed by just snapping it back on...but no luck. I realize that it could have been a freak thing as the engine was designed to rev that high. But even being R&R'd about 15 years ago (receipts from prior owner), it's still a 45-year old engine and probably shouldn't be pushed to the limit all that often.

I have BB single outlet exhaust so i am guessing with Rarly8 would work ok.... just worried about those stock header bolts removal
