so I have a referral to a new guy but he's never seen the Kleeman setup - just looking for photos for a setup including the 2ndardy cats......

If the guy u are paying to do the work cant figure out how to install the headers I would advise on finding a tech that knows what he is doing. should take 4 hours to do even if he has never done them before.

farm out parts ? all the parts needed for install are included from kleemann. If their is no welding equipment then he cant do the job.

he has to have another shop do the welding since he doesn't have a capable welder in his shop...

Install, Cut, weld, and drive with a smile on your face. Too bad you're not closer to SJ.
