American Racing Headers are installed
That's hard core right there! When I was a mechanic were I worked at the big International trucks wouldn't fit in the shop. In the winter we built a tent around the bottom and blew a salamander heater up my *** to keep warm.
Nice looking headers.

Nice headers. I plan on upgrading to 1 7/8 ARH in the future. Props for doing it in the cold, my *** would have frozen to death... I couldn't imagine doing that job with cold hands and cold steel + no heater!!! ouch.

No, sure don't. My SLP Loudmouth is lower than the headers. I just looked! I need to turn the clamp cause the bolt is low. ARH headers and Y are not low on my Hawk.
LOL LOL! Yup, I work outside just about every day. Been working on a 3208 Cat Terragator outside, that's 12' wide and won't fit in our big *** shop either! Yea I froze, but not because of the headers and Y!
LOL, nope, for me it's the Harmonic Balancer/ Crank Pulley, just ordereed it yesterday! So I take it the cam just made it too loud? I'm holding off on the cam. The magnaflow is nice!

, when I opened the box and saw that a set of gaskets and extensions were put in the box, free.
I knew about the plugs and wires and shipping being at no charge. So I used the ebay ones, and both kinds looked the same. It threw 2 codes when I first let it idle for 45 min on the jack stands. The front 02 sensor heated code and the rear passenger 02 code. I re set it with the hand held reader and everything has been great since.
I do too! It fit perfect, and that catted Y gave me the sound I was hoping for. It looked even bigger than the new SLP Y I had put on with the loudmouth when I took that stock slp flat Y off.
I was surprised to find the gaskets and 02 extensions also in the box...just by luck i didn't buy them. I bought mine directly from ARH and ended up paying 75 dollars more then what i saw on a sponsers sale that included plugs and wires Anyway, i'll be putting my new ARH headers on in another month or so along with my new tranny and stall from Performabuilt.

They looks nice and sound great! I wish I would have layed something over my fenders, I scratched the hell out of my car when I was doing intake/header swap.
SS DNA, I really like that avatar. That's one of the best angles a guy can be at, gives her something to do while you're practicing photography skills

It was cold and snowing and around 25 degrees, but had no problems just sticking the headers right into place. Very impressed with ARH and their catted Y. I have the Loudmouth 1 with the ARH and alot of the drone and rasp that some complained about are gone. Either way I love the sound.
Congrats on the install I think your crazy doing it the cold tha's dedication.
