Sounds really good, did you have to drop the Kmember or Epas?

No and no. I wish I dropped the K, because it would have made the install of the headers easier, but can be done with out. Just removed one engine mount at a time and used a tranny jack to tilt the motor.

Wow, seems like there is more room under there for a header install than one would imagine. I did not see how you were holding the engine up from the pics so i was just wondering. I'm sure if i was doing this off of jackstands i would need to drop the kmember and epas though. Lifts help a lot. :)

If you can find access to a lift, use it! I will not do a header install on jackstands again lol. It freaking sucks.
Sounds good man. I wish you would have let er rip at :50
That was a little embarrassing, because I accidently left the TC on lol. I was just too excited to hear the exhaust lol. :roflmao:

Did you pay to have them installed or did you get a chance to do them yourself? How many hours?

I'm trying to get rid of some spare parts to fund me a longtube swap.

I installed them with help from friends. Took us 7 hrs because we started to cross threaded one of the driver side bolts and and had to re tap it. Also the passenger side is a pain in the ass.

That is what I figured it would take roughly. I have a shop that is going to install mine for a great price so I believe I will just pay up and safe myself the frustration haha

Nice work man.

We just installed my stainless works long tubes and x pipe over the wekend. We dropped the k member, removed motor mounts and steering shaft. Really is a bastard of a job for the average Joe.

I love the sound of the big primary headers, 3" or x pipe and 3" exhaust!!!

I'm kinda impressed at how cool the OEM exhaust manifold is setup. Take off the catalytic converter and you have instant shorty's. Way better than the 05-09 OEM exhaust manifold setup.

Car sounds good. I'd be interested how my power you gained with just this mod given the aforementioned.
