any monkey prints (hand prints) on the truck, obvious break in into the cab to release the hood, burn marks etc? lets face it dude, an exhaust system thats weathered on a truck after a few week is a pain in the ***** to simply pull off if it were clamped together. either they cut it off or torched that puppy off, and they would of been heard with the sawzall going through steel or seen regardless via the flame. you will most likely have soot marks under the truck from the flame, plus your CEL would be on for the o2 sensors reading improperly. if they cut them of the sensors will read excessively high resistance and that will throw the light. to get the headers, you need to go through the hood unless there was a 3 year old turning the wrenches under there. yeah it's possible they stole the system, but as far as the headers, they must of been freshly installed on that engine to come off with that much ease to be stolen, otherwise they should of been there for some time removing those f**kers and they are a pita to remove.

i used never seize when i installed my system. the actual clamping of the pipes, compressing into one another locks them in place. i had to readjust my pipes after 3 weeks cause i was in a rush when i installed it and thats when i had the time. i had to put a 18 inch long pipe wrench to even rotate them to align everything properly so it looked all symmetrical and sh*t.

Friends of mine while building their house had all the copper pipe stolen out of the house. People will steal anything.

Sorry to hear about your luck. To add insult to injury your signature is going to change ( no header or dual exhaust).

The latest trend in this town ( Kitchener, Ontario), drill a hole in the gas tank to siphon the gas, ruins the tank. You have to ask, is it worth it even at $5/us gal

don't turn the truck back on ever without headers or something on it, you will burn a valve and your engine bay to ****!

People steal, cats, copper, and gas here in Texas. Its sick.

Just the other day somone stole gas out of one of our friends moostangs went from a full tank to 1/2 a tank.. if i EVER catch anyone even by my truck i flip a ****. I instantly want to punch them in the face and kill them.

I have way to much, blood, money, and memory's put into it. I would KILL over it.. no joke.
