Ok so I was going to post this in the Exterior section but I wanted to touch base with more than one topic so I figured its better suited here .

1st topic :
OTRATTW switches? does anybody have a wiring diagram for them? they seem to be complicated for me to figure out . any ideas?

2nd topic :
Headers Ive been told that they really don't like to keep their seal and people constantly having to re tighten the header bolts … this true?

3rd

I need your advice , thoughts? Yay or Nay ( MIND YOU IM PAINTING THE COVERS BLACK SO THEY WONT STICK OUT SO MUCH )

I have shortys on my lincoln. Always chasing down the elusive exhaust leak at the header on that car. The gaskets that came with them (Pypes 1&5/8 shorty headers) were blown out (after a year.) I got these at my local speed shop http://catalog.remflex.com/category_s/10.htm and havent looked back. Awesome product. No leaks. Havent had to retighten the bolts either. Even after two years of straight abuse. (Alot of nitrous and some boost)

On my '77 i have dynomax (sp?) long tubes and have had zero issues with retightening. I have heard the same thing, though. I've just never had an issue with it myself

I had an exhaust leak at first but thats because the gasket that comes with them SUCK!!! but I just went back to oem gaskets and havnt looked back. But after I let them get hot I went back and checked the torque and they were fine.
