Talking How many cuts did you have on your hands after header install?

List your cut or abrasion count and the model of headers.


I count 7 scabs at this very moment.

I had several minor cuts going down my forearms.....looked like an emo kid.

My knuckles were really beat up too.

The problem with this question for my answer is you have to put ME into perspective, I cut myself changing the oil...lol

My knuckles are quite raw when I change headers.

the backs of my hands are one big scar... too many to count, too many years of knuckle busting under the hood...

Hahaha


I forgot I have one on my forearm near my elbow. It's kind of a long one, about a 3" cut. I had my arm up inside the car alongside the Y-pipe and I almost got my arm stuck in the car. Kinda one of those claustrophobic moments.
