Default Installed Texas Speed Longtubes yesterday

It really wasnt as big of a pain as i thought. Id really like to thank everybody who posted install tips on the stickys cause they helped alot! The only real problem i had was with the driver side hittin the floor board while we was sliden them up there but after some wiggling and finding thrown tools (jk) it fit like a glove. The passenger side slid right into place. All and all it took me and my brother about 6 hours to do it. I didnt get a chance to take pictures but im guna upload a video tomoro of it idleing. I havnt gotten exhaust yet so it'll be open headers but im sure yall wont mind. Just thought id share.

Thats good news to hear I was thinking up upgrading my pacessetters to the TSP headers. It doesnt seem like anyones had any trouble with them yet.

i did my headers yesterday too. i did hookers. they fit amazingly. all you have to do is unbolt the oil blockoff plate thing above the oil filter and it pretty much installs itself. except the bolts and plugs. those are still a pain.

nope. i took these off of the guys car who i bought them from and then installed them on mine and they were not even close to the k member with the oil blockoff plate thing removed. even with 90k miles on the stock mounts they slid in fine. took probably 15 seconds per side.

Only reall thing i had to take off from the bottom was the oil filter and a few heat sheilds to make sure we had enough room to clear. Th plugs ain bad with the tsp headers. Except that one on the back passenger side
