• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Wow- what caused that? It may be repairable if you have materials, some metal skills and a good riveter. If that’s the product of a backfire or something you’ll want to address that first, of course. Then there’s used FMF’s if you keep a close eye out, used Leo’s, and there’s always the option of using a gutted/re-packed stock can.

As for the mid-pipe: if re-attaching the guard is the concern that shouldn’t be too bad. The one on mine is held on by hose clamps (which aren’t readily visible as they go through slots and are shielded by the guard.) I don’t think you need a guard that follows the bends, a short one should be fine.

BTW- if anyone reading this thread has a set of stock head pipes they’d like to unload I’d love to hear from you. Thanks!

Can’t remember where you are Eric? I have the full stock exhaust as I installed the Leo Vince system.
 
Thanks for chiming in Mekanik! I’m in the U.S., in Virginia. If you’d be willing to sell just the headers and if shipping isn’t super crazy I’d love the headers (still have the rest of my stock set-up.) Now
if you want to keep it as a complete set-up that’s perfectly understandable. Thanks!
