Finaly its ALIVE!!!
Finaly its ALIVE!!! Finaly got the car started yesterday after month and half of work. Was real happy to see it start right up with no problem and find its idel. Car sounds killer with the open headers, just need to do a few more things then i can start driving this thing. The hawks LT's fit great and would recomend them to any one, just had to dimple one of the tubes a little to clear the stearing shaft, which i had to do on my slp shorties i had on my TPI, so no big deal. I'll have some pics, and videos up shortly so stay tuned.

P.S. - Just wanted to say thanks to MR.DUDE and Bruce at hawks for all the help and questions you guys answered.

the headers fit great, had to jack up the passenger side and they slide right in, the driver slide in very easily, i just had to dimple on of the tubes becuase the steering shaft would rub a little, i have a video i'll post once i figure out to get it on, so if anyone can tell me how, or host it for me that would be great.

Damn that quiet for open headers. My open shorties are not even tolerable. Sounds good though. Looks like a real nice install. Good job again man. Looks like not too much more before you can take it for a ride.
yea, i cleaned it today, got real dusty sitting in the car, yea the open headers for some reason sound real quite in the vid(it was just a digital camara that can do short vids). It was WAY louder in person, shakes the house when i rev it. But anyways thanks a lot for the good feed back hopeing to have it on the road very very soon.

Alright car was alive . Went to take it for a test drive yesterday and my skip shift was going crazy, speedo wasn't working right, and the reverse lock out wasn't working. Call TSP today cause they did the tune for me and find out that they thougth i just wanted the auto deleted and not a flash(i guess they do this a lot for those who do a auto to manual swap). So computer went off today overnighted to them so i can get it flashed for a 6 speed and retuned. Wanted to get it to the exhaust shop today but doesnt look like thats going to happen for a few more days. All well i'm just glad it wasn't somthing really wrong just a small mishaps. Thanks a lot for all the complements, hope all your swaps are going well.
Thanks Justin
P.S. i was able to ge it out and washed in the driveway yesterday so i'll post some new pics of it CLEAN, couldnt get it out side to snap the pics since i can't drive any more without the comp, but i got some decent shots from in teh gerage.
