Edelbrock LT's are Here.. w00t
First off thanks to Byunspeed, I was in a rush to place my order(On lunch break) and even though they weren't in stock he pulled though and they arrived today.(Order placed Monday 5th around noon). I have to say the headers look awsome. The welds look great, nice thick flanges. I have to say i was surprised with all the extras it came with. o2 Extensions,Air/egr block off plates, header gaskets. I decided to go with their race y-pipe, but have yet to test fit it to the headers.(Will do that tonight) All in all i'm very happy with my purchase.
I plan on using the stock catback exhaust with my DMH e-cutout. I'm debating either the MS3 or the New MS4(Guess i won't be seeing any graphs till the 12th). I hope the stock catback muffles the exhaust note, but i'll still be able to have it loud when i want it to be.
Anyhow i'd post pics but i know you guys have seen tons of them by now so unless you want them i'll hold off. I hope to test fit the exhaust this weekend then have the E-cutout welded on the y-pipe.. i'll let ya know how it goes..

Update:Lt's are now installed. Haven't tightened the bolts to spec yet or use a gasket, as i might need to move them when i do the cam/springs. It fits really well. They are not hitting on the K-member, however i did have to remove a portion on that little piece of metal on the block. (From the cast) Both the passinger and Drivers side went in from the bottom. (It's possible from the top but it just seemed easier from the bottom.)The Race Y-pipe just fits over the collectors. Everything is nice and tight. They don't seem to hang to low but i won't be able to tell untill the car is off the stands. Start to finish about five hours(With 30mins lunch and removal of the Air system). After hearing horror stories about such LT's as SLP i'm glad these went in so easily.
BTW- If i can install LT's i think anyone can. I went from someone who would only change my own oil,(Heck last spring i even had someone else replace my rocker arms cause i didn't want to touch the motor) to installing some LT headers ,and i have more stuff to install on the way.
