Ooh, X pipe. Personally, I love the sound. While others may not, anything that makes more power without loss of drivability or fuel milage is tops in my book. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I would appreciate if someone would post a comprehensive pictorial Grand Cherokee to A body steering box swap. So, rag joint and I thought I read the hose fittings were different and req'd an adapter?

Thank you. The fact that its 39 pages long confirms that its not a slam dunk, idiot proof procedure to get the CORRECT box and put it in the car without drama. It sounds like LEE power steering is back up and running offering adapters for the hoses...

Well, today was the BIG day. I got a brand new 2016 1965 Impala Supersport delivered to my house. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!! Took it for a blast just after Ken and Gary left. It's a totally different animal now. Good thing I was wearing my Depends. The car is crazy fast and the A/C blows ice cubes out of the vents. This would have never happened if it wasn't for Ken. SPECIAL THANKS goes out to Ken. He's a Great Guy and a True Friend. I have a few minor things that I need to take care of but I'm sure looking forward to driving my brand new 2016 1965 Impala Supersport. My neighbor came over and just about crapped his pants when I opened the hood.
