Mac Longtube Header install

Has anyone installed them? Do you need to pull the starter, and if so is that a big deal? Ive never pulled a starter before....any input? Thanks!

pulling the starter is no big deal, there are 3 bolts holding it. 2 of them you can see and one of the you can feel. use a 1/4" drive with a 6 or 8 inch ext and a universal. its really no sweat. its removing the motor mount bracket from the engine that gets to be a pain, you will definitely need some deep sockets to do this install

I have an uncatted MAC Prochamber that I love the sound of, I just can't stand the smell any longer. I am considering going with Mac Header and catted prochamber, so I am intrested in hearing all the feedback you get here. I am also curious if the install is any less or more difficult than other LT installs for the 05+.

I will keep you posted Bryan....you interested in selling that prochamber maybe, I might be interested.

So there is nothing i need to know about putting the starter back in? it will just bolt up easy?

also, i cant seem to find it anywhere.....does anyone have the torque sequence for the headers? The only thing I could find is that i have to torque them from the inside studs out....i cant find torque specs or the sequence..

infact, you will be miles ahead to remove the battery and the trey. if you can't find tq. specs then a good rule of thumb is "inside out".

I just removed the 3 bolts from the starter also. More space to slide the LT's in. As for the header bolts I hand tightened them and then did them from the inside/out
