Default Hearder Install?

I just ordered QTP lts and catted Y and was looking for some advice on the install when they get here. I know it won't be as easy wrenching on my old GTO. Any info on helping it go smoothly would be great!!

Easy install. Need to jack up the car pretty high. I used SUV jack stands. Take out plugs first. Rear passenger plug comes out from under the car. Old y pipe was a pain to wiggle off. New y was also a pain to install. I removed the vehicle cross brace and left it off. Retighten header bolts if needed after driving. Ticking indicates a header leak. Put antiseize(sp) on header bolts. Do yourself a favor and install poly engine mounts while the headers are off. Grind down the engine casting that is found at the bottom of the passenger side of the block.
