Installed FLPs in 6 hrs. Me and 2002 Silver WS6 completed the job on my car in about 6 hours. Using a lift is definately a plus. Pretty easy install, took off the oil filter to slide the driver side in, the passenger side goes right in. The back header bolts are a pain but overall pretty simple. Also had to cut a couple of inches off of the intermediate pipe because the FLP system is a little longer, also used one O2 extender and O2 sims.

Did you take the car back to rapid to get Oil Filter put back on?
J/K Tileman, Good install!

Re: Installed FLPs in 6 hrs. /[The reason I ask is because I did it in 3 1/2 hours with no help]/
/[Im sure I could of done it a little faster, but I chatted here and there, had to wait for a hand while someone held the header and I could get a bolt in.]/
So which was it Krazy Kooter? Did you do it yourself or did the Duke boys help you out?

"3 1/2 hour header install" Good job man. I guess time stands still when you smoke crack. Sorry I don't believe you at all. Whatever job you have you should quit it and become a certified LS1 header installer. Hell, you could charge $300 a car and get almost three cars done in a day. Good thing you have a good neighbor to help you out.

Re: Installed FLPs in 6 hrs. It took me 8hrs with a lift and a friend doing half the work. There is no way in hell. You would not happen to be 7 feet tall with skinny arms that happen to have metric and sparkplug sockets surgically attached would you?

Re: Installed FLPs in 6 hrs. You might be able to do it in 3.5 hrs but that would be seriously hauling some ***. Took me a couple of 8 hr days by myself but I am seriously slow when doing this (not sure why)
Re: Installed FLPs in 6 hrs. I don't want to be a dick here but I just swapped a set of dyantech headers out for a set of Kooks headers in 2 hours flat, by myself with the car on jackstands. This was just headers w/no Y pipe but I had to disconnect/reconnect my true duals. 3 1/2 hours is definately doable. First header swap I ever did with a buddy last year was just over 4 hours. I do have skinny arms and small hands but no sockets surgically attached hehehe.
's back.
