Header Install Yeah, so I spent about 8 hours yesterday helping my friend install headers on his car... Cut to pieces now!
Went very smoothly and would have taken an hour or so less but we ended up having to take out the driver's side motor mount to get the damn things in. I think he's pretty happy with the new sound, but we didn't get a chance to really take them for a drive yet (at least not on 8 cylinders, hahaha. We realized after we moved the cars back to the parking lots that a plug wire wasn't connected. Ran much smoother after that, haha).
We're taking them for a test-drive this evening, after our final exam today

Yeah, I would be that friend... and what a job. I do love the new sound except for the rasp... LT headers, the 3" Y, and the SLP Loudmouth catback CamTom hooked me up with do that. Any thoughts on options for new sound out there? Limiting the rasp would be nice; he mentioned some options, but I thought it'd be good to hear some other ideas. Thanks!

ha ha ha. Funny B-rad.
Yeah, tuning's our next step. I am now armed with the cool stuff that Kenny taught me plus some new stuff. We'll get a good partial throttle tune in there and then bring it in for a dyno-day somewhere to cap off the WOT tuning

we did an ORY because of budget issues 
I've got that d/d I can trade him for the LM or I've got a 3" Dynomax bullet to weld in place of the resonator on the LM. Those are the two options we're looking at now. My advice to him was to drive it for a week and then decide if he likes it or not.
He's gonna think his is real quiet when he gets done driving mine this week though, haha
