Started my Pacesetter install i got all the header bolts out on the drivers side and half on the pass side...both air tubes and egr are off...all 6 of the manifold bolts snapped off lol...the only thing a little tricky about my car is the borla was welded on by the previous owner so ive got to do a little cuttin there but overall everything is going well and im about 2 hrs into it with no help hopefully by the end of the night most of the exhaust will be off and tomorrow ill have the pacesetters on and i can get it started...whats the easiest way to get out the dipstick tube? just from the top and wiggle it till it comes out?

Four of mine broke as well. They were the ones where the cats bolt up to the stock headers (3 on each side). I was glad they broke so i didnt have to on unbolt it all the way..lol!

Well ive got everything done on the drivers side...and the old ypipe and cats are off...all thats left is to get out the pass manifold and put in that header 
on the drivers side it went right in after i got the casting nub off, thanks for the tips guys...its very easy if you use a sawsaw...i used my die grinder for a bit but it was too slow so i busted out the the saw and bam came off in like 2 minutes...while i was at it i cut the old ypipe off where it was welded up previously so all is looking well but i might have to run on open headers till i get it alll welded up again...i have flux but im not sure if id trust myself just yet ahh well ive got nearly 3 hrs till i ring in the new year maybe i can run on open headers hehe thats a party in itself

Hey foff667 I noticed your pacesetter install pics on your web page. Right now it is just pics of the headers but when you are done will right a detailed install instructions with pictures on there. I want to install these myself so your instructions will be a big help.

most of the aformentioned were already known to most so i had a heads up on what to do which was great. If anyone has any tips on getting to that pass side rear header bolt let me know how lata
