Yes. It keeps the exhaust track short, limits bends, I don't have to worry about the fuel tank being in the way to have true dual exhaust, and I don't have to worry about the bends to go over the rear axle.

Yep. Need to swap out the spring in the distributor in hopes to lower the curb idle in neutral/park, and still keep the motor from dying when it goes into gear.

Does it idle that high out of gear even when it's warmed up??

No. The truck is warm in the video. It only idles that fast when it's warm. When it's warming up, it idles more like the part of the video when it's in gear.

Man that would be annoying. Not quite as bad with an auto I guess, but I think in terms of manuals, so that would be brutal.
