Yeah I had trouble trying to find the hole also; finally found a picture in the shop manual that showed it right by the starter motor.

yea its my daily...prolly went a good 100miles like this..oil wasnt pouring out...but leaking enough..i had to put 2.5Qts in
the install was fine...but i have to cut a chunk of metal my collector (Driver) hits..and find a way to separate the Y from the floorboard

What kind of headers do you have? My QTP's brought my SLP Y right against the floor pan reinforcements, which is great for ground clearance but not so great for banging noises. I solved the problem by cutting a slot wider than the Y pipe through the reinforcements. I welded a new floor pan reinforcement on the top of the floor pan (under the carpet in front of the drivers seat.) This turned out to be a great mod; the bump under the carpet isn't even noticeable, and my Y never hits anything now! (the y is even with the bottom of the SFC's, so no way it could hit the ground.) I have pics if you're interested.
im getting the flp's in like a month. do you guys think it is a good descision? im buying them from a friend who used them for like a month and only has at most 2,000 miles on them for 700 bucks. are the flp's the headers i should get?
01ws6, FLP's are the ****. Getting them for 700 is a steal. I don't even own an fbody right now and I'd buy them at that price this second LOL. They have great fitment, are high quality, and they are a total package. Who could ask for more? You're definitely comin out on top on this one guy, lol.

if its just the headers only then its an ok deal, you could get some brand new kooks or qtp for a tab more.
