Default Flawless!!! Installed my longtubes today.

Everything went smoothly. No complaints on the headers just time consuming, took 11 hours with a LIFT!! I didn't want to break anything so I took my time. Got rid of the EGR, AIR and stock manifolds in 6-8 hours. I'm running open headers right now so it sounds like a freaking nascar or dragster.
Driver's side went in w/o any problems although the passanger side I had to lower the K-member 2-3 inches. Much easier than unbolting those motor mount bolts, IMO. I took a couple of engine bay pictures but I forgot to take pictures under the car, the shop was nearly closing so I had to hurry up and put up my mess. Tomorrow, I'll take some pictures under the car and take a video of running open headers (Stainless Works style) and with bassani TDs. Also I'll be hooking up the bassani TDs w/ my longtubes at the muffler shop. Shouldn't be a while to hook it up.

It's good to hear about a flawless install. All I've been hearing about lately is problem after problem.

It's ALOT louder. I'm running the system w/o cats so its LOUD. I'm running bassani X and bassani muffler. Its insane w/ just open headers. Car sounds like a nascar but not as loud.
