Title says it all I'm finally getting it done tomorrow after they've sat in my spare bedroom since October lol. Im worried about the stock tunnle brace and figuring out how to connect the hangers without messing up my car. Anyone with pics or any info will help

As far as the headers go, you'll be jacking the motor out of the driver side mount, as well as disconnecting the steering shaft. Passenger side is fairly easy. You'll have to get the car's nose about chest height (at least, I'm 6 ft for reference) to get these in. Obviously it's to your advantage to use a lift if possible. If you haven't changed plugs and wires either, do those while you're in there.

It'll be on a lift. My main concern is with the true duals

Kiss the tunnel brace goodbye. You don't need it anyways.

Tunnel brace good bye you say. I haven't done anything to beef up my chassis or suspension yet so that won't hurt anything you say?

Tunnel brace may as well just be decoration. Its too light/flimsy to benefit chassis stiffness anyway. I dont have it on havent lost any sleep about it. Consider it weight reduction.

Do any of you guys have some pics of how you mounted the hangers, I've been told to use the seatbelt bolts or something but I'm a visual guy

Its common to remove the back seats, drill a hole through the floor, and use a bolt with big washers to help spread the weight out since the floor board metal is thin.

I'm taking it to my local shop to have it put on. They've always done good work so hopefully they can do it lol

Headers aren't that bad, save the cash and do it yourself.

I'm not worried about the headers I got that under control lol, its the hangers on the tds bc I don't wanna mess my car up for exhaust. I'm taking it around 3 when I get off work

Is there a tunnel brace that works with this system or should I just not use one at all? And I'm gonna be getting some subframe connectors and need some that'll fit with the tds. So which tunnel brace and subframes should I go with

Don't worry about a tunnel brace.... but if you REALLY want one, MWC has a NICE one that tucks the best that I've ever seen. It has a driveshaft safety loop built in as well. I "believe" its 95 shipped.

Notice how nicely it tucks?

Thanks man. How bout subframe connectors

Again... I vote for MWC. Not saying ANYTHING bad about the other companies, but do some research on theirs, and you'll find a very distinct difference as to what they are actually tying in with theirs.

I believe the SFC at MWC are 150
