Finished my header install today... Just got done installing my MAC mids and high flow y-pipe. all in all i have to say that it was a pretty easy install. i was expecting alot worse. the driver side header slid right into place, i did have to cut the little square casting of the passenger side of the block to get the new header in, but that was no big deal. I definetly feel a power increase.... especially after 2800 rpms. i would definetly recommend the MAC mids to anyone who is unable or choices(for some reason) not to run longtubes. The headers and y-pipe fit great, and the install only took me about 7-8 hours with hand tools and no lift.

i could definetly do it again in much less time, like i said before, i heard all these horor stories about how hard headers are to install without a lift, i dont see what the big deal was haha. got a few nice scrapes, cuts, and bruses, but it was all worth it when i fired the car up!! and it started!! haha. and RADZ i am in Sterling, va like 2 min from NOVA community college.

Almost as bad as headers on a 96 Cobra. You can't reach a SINGLE BOLT from under the hood, and we had to pull the k-member.
