Default AR headers info

I helped a buddy de-mod his Firehawk today. FYI, I've installed literally every brand of headers, except Kooks, on LS1 fbodies and although we removed these, I would assume installation would be similar

Holy ****, these came out easier than stock manifolds. From jacking the car 12" up to removing coils/wires/plugs, unbolting the headers and sitting them on my garage floor took less than 20 (twenty) minutes. Serious. The only, and I mean only extra thing that had to be taken out was the dipstick tube for obvious reasons.

I now see why and completely understand the added cost of these over cheaper knockoffs...

The 1 3/4" ones fit real nice, the 1 7/8" 3.5" race collector ones I have now, not so much... Hit the starter, hang low, cannot install without jacking the motor up, etc....
