Just a couple questions

I feel that I need to change the headers out on my truck, in order to get the collector farther away from the starter (Look at my other posts for the drama details). since the price is about the same I'm looking at stock /rams horn manifold or another style of header. Another board member suggested a shorty that I'd never heard of but now can't remember the company. I'd like to stay with a Shorty model, but if I have to, I'll go back to the Long Tube. Also I know that certaian styles from different years fit nice, so I'm all ears on suggestions. Bottom line is that I need the exhaust itself as far away from the starter as possible. The othe r question. what does it take to change the outer bearings/seals on the rear axle. doI have to tear it completely apart and take out the axles to do this. again my ears are open. Thanks
