Sup guys.. i did test drive the malibu all day Saturday...all gauges are ok, speedometer off alittlebit, as well as the oil pressure, if u tighten the cap/screw where the plastic line goes through it pinches the line as it gets hot...but stays at 25 pressure and the highest when i give gas at 60 oil pressure so thats good, my speed tach only moves if i punch it, not at low speeds, i might need to take speed cable out the transmission and reinsert it..we will see, but over all drives like a dream...

Other than that just been chillin with the Fam, really not much to do, but to color sand and buff and tint the windows; window tint might do this weekend, then put some new 80z stickers

After the drive all day with my son, i notice the headers started pealing, after taking them down to metal, following the prep and putting the high temp header coating, they still peeled!!! I dont want to pop my hood and show rusty headers, Sooooo yea i came up on 75 ft of Tan header wrap on CL for $20, i did a little mock up to see what im dealing with and i like it, i have 24 stainless steal header wraps coming in the mail off ebay for $8.99, i didnt know this header wrap was wrapped in fiberglass too!! Im all itchy know.. :rofl: black zip ties will come out and steel ones will go in..

That's what I hate about black headers but it looks like u found the solution. Hooker also makes a black ceramic coated header that won't flake or fade. Stickers should be ready in the next day or so, I'll text you when they can be picked up
