Taylor 409's cut to size make your own. Its the only ones I use and also has to be the straight boot with manifolds as they for much better then the angle ones.

Im alittle lost here so you say there was a water problem in # 7 and you ran it and you didnt feel any diffrence in the way it ran ? The only way you found it is that somebody told you it had the wrong plugs in it at a later date ? What am I missing.... plugs are plugs as long as they are the right heat range and lenght---sp... You should w d 40 some more and you wont have a rust problem
