Default Quick header install

Well we spent last night putting on my pacesetter headers I bought from a member here. Well heres my take on things

1. get the entire car up high as humanly/jack possible
2. Sawzall's are you friend
3. You only have to unbolt the passenger side coil pack
4. Your prolly gonna break a bolt off so have some genius solution to get it out or leave it in if doesn't leak.
5. Remeber to put the dipstick back in
6. have a magnetic rod if your clumsy with your hands so you don't end up having an endless pit of sockets and wrenches.
7. Taco bell helps
8. Every three minutes you feel the need to throw the closet hardest item near you so have a net to catch it in set up in a general direction.
9. 10mm deep wall sockets are a ******* great invention
10. Open headers.....LOUD!

Took about 4 and half hours last night. got pissed off a couple of times and just threw wrenches and stuff at the wall. Overall it was fun and I'm glad its over with. I gained a little up top but by god the sound of open headers is great lol
