i have pics of half way thru the install. probably wont help much but i can post em later if you would like to see. The install is not as bad as everyone says it is, the car just has to be VERY VERY high off the ground if your doing it in your garage. Driver side goes in easy if you take the steering knuckle off and move the shaft outta the way. Passanger side is alittle more difficult, it has to go in almost straight up then angled in. I had my y-pipe installed and cut for me but it wasnt done the way i wanted it, they cut the catback instead of the y-pipe....it constantly leaked and pissed me off so i dont suggest doing that.

I have a ton of pics of the underside of the car. I have pacesetters, and I didnt personally put them on, but they guy who did said they went in nice and easy.

Just one rule of thumb for you, all headers are installed from the bottom.

i have a 94 trans am a4 and it was easier to put the passenger side on from the top. u have to take the alternator off and starter and take the motor mount bolt out and juke the pass. side of the motor up. but not to far or u will break the other motor mount

I did hooker LT's, and we had to drop the K-member and move the motor from side to side to get mine in?.. Just did that this weekend, next Sun- going to tuck everything back together and get my X-pipe welded up..
