Below is a list of FYI threads (aside from those in the "sticky" section) that may be useful to forum members and others in attempting to answer certain reccurring questions/issues/product information relating to the S197 platform.

As indicated, the very FIRST thread to be consulted should be the thread referencing various write-ups by TacoBill, whose posts/writeups (with pictures) concerning a vast multitude of S197 product installations (e.g., headers, etc.) is widely regarded as the most extensive and detailed of any individual making such postings.

Again, a very special thanks to TacoBill.


FYI: illustrated/detailed DIY tech write-ups courtesy of TacoBill: the very FIRST source you should turn to on EVERY topic you can think of.

Wow... A little extra time on your hands tonight?

AWESOME!

thanks troon

[Troon2004]

Yea..also, I kept seeing that there were threads that might have been useful to people but they were so "buried" that nobody ever got to them.

And of course, there's my shameless self-promotion working...
