my friend hs a 97 z conv and just did jet hots...he had to unbolt the motor and jack it up, and disconnect the steering linkage. I hear this is kinda common. im getting headers too, very soon, but i think im going to go with the edelbrocks. their long tube design can be tuned, has stepped primaries, and a truye merge collector with an expansion cone after that. good for some extra torgue no doubt. and instead of buying a y-pipe, im going to have true duals ran and dumped before the axle. i have a friend buying my slp lm for $200, and ive been quoted twice for 175 for the duals. i know you didnt ask all this crap, but just thought id lay that out there...

my jet-hots went in pretty easily, i just had to remove the 2 bolts that hold the steering linkage and removed it (it sounds complicated but its VERY easy). other than that, there were no other problems. i didint use the y-pipe though, i went with custom true-duals

My Jet-Hots have been very good. The motor did have to be jacked up a little, but they clear everything and no rubbing. They have been on 1 year. They have a little surface rust on the collectors, but I drove the car in all kinds of weather.
