Default TSP 1 7/8 Long Tube Install

Well guys I just finished up the install yesterday and I am very pleased with the TSP headers. I will be honest though, it was not easy. I had to remove both engine mounts on the driver side and jack up the motor.

Good news is if you can get 2 floor jacks and 4 jack stands you can get the car high enough to perform this task. Oh and I had some help, that is a must on this project because you can really get worn out.

Right now the SS running open headers and omg lol that ************ is loud, I went WOT and my ears started ringing. So the hell with dumping, I think I will get sick of the sound real quick.

So the only question I have is regarding the spark plug wires. On the passenger side there are 2 wires that are really close to the tubes, what should I use to protect the wires? I used the silver OEM tubes that were used on the manifolds, and there is still a part of the wire that is exposed. Thanks.

If it is just the boots use the MSD's that you can bend. What I did.

Yea I messed with the MSD wires where they connect to the coil packs and got them maybe a cm away from the tube, but I am afraid the heat will get them. Is that amount of spacing ok for the wires?
