Default I got my Mad Man SYA bars installed!!!

I installed the "Save Yo Azz" bars today. Maybe a little late, but before I did major damage If I would have ordered them earlier, I wouldn't have flattened my Drivers side header as you can see in the pic. That's a hard lesson learned. IMHO, It's a great investment. I hope to be testing them soon!

Thanks Mad Man!!!!

They are held by the clamp in the front and the rear is secured with a large K-member bolt. The pressure will be on the down stroke of the landing so it souldn't have any force pulling down on them. They sure feel solid.

They look like these fit a little better for your ride height. Go try them out and let me know!!

They have saved my *** already once.

Broke one of the clamps off and got some good sized dents in mine

They work!

I got mine on last week. Too bad the motor is toast now. Oh well, they will get used with the new motor.

Those are cool as hell. I'm wondering if I'm going to need some. I'm very worried about banging my new QTP's all up.

Madman, how much for a set???
Also, I seen those cleco's that you were telling me about at the good guys car show today. I should have bought a set. But did'nt want to carry them around all day.

Yeah these look like they are perfect. I hope to test them sometime this weekend.

They cost a lot less than a new oil pan and a set of headers. Ask me how I know and check out the drivers header in one of those pics. That was before the SYA bars and when I was only making 459 rwhp

It's cheap insurance IMO.

Looks like you could have used them a little earlier judging by your headers


They look good though, they are a definate purchase I will make once I put a k member on my car.

Do not weld them they are a consumable part. They are made to be destroyed.
