Gravy Pacesetter install tonight
I put my first set of headers on my T/A tonight. It went so smoothly I wonder why I hear all the horror stories. Then I started thinking about all you poor suckers working on your backs in the garage.
Anyway, with a lift and air it's a cake walk. Didn't have to cut the block tab, didn't even have to disconnect the steering shaft. Makes pulling manifolds on a 750iL look like a day in hell!! My only gripe is the pass side O2 pigtail comes out right against the tranny.
I haven't tackled the TSP Y yet, save it for another day. Besides, it sounds soooooo badass off the headers

same here did it on my back. heard all the horror stories so had about 4 friends there ready to tilt the engine and all that. We all stood and scratched our heads wondering how they went in so easily.

I barely had to loosen the drivers motor mount and raise the engine up with an airplane jack to get the drivers side in. The passenger side slid in without a hitch. I probably had 3 hours total in it and that's with new plugs and MSD wires. However I haven't tackled the TSP Y yet. Hopefully the horror stories I've heard about the TSP Y's will be the same as the headers.
Damn I can't believe how much better the engine compartment looks with the headers and MSD wires along with the EGR and AIR crap gone. Best mod I've done so far I think.
