Default QTP's are in

it wasn't easy but i did it. the y still needs to go on but i have to have about 4" cut off the i pipe for it to fit right. some problems i ran into were on the driver's side. i had to take off the oil filter and plug to give me enough room to slip the header in. i also had the oil diverter off but i don't think it would've made a difference. the back bolts were also a pita to work on. the ratchet/socket weren't cutting it. i went and invested in a ratched wrench was able to get them done in no time. especially the passenger side. i'm achy and tired but i think it was worth it.

get the car as high as possible. that comes into play when you're ready to put the QTPs in. also invest in a 10mm ratchet wrench. it will really help with the rear bolts, especially on the pass side. remove your oil filter and plug for more clearence. you might want to take off the coil packs for easier access to the heads.
