I sure hope its promising. The only thing I am scared of is unbolting the stock exhaust manifolds. I am affraid I am gonna break a bolt off in the head or something. How often does that happen?

Oh I am not worried too much about the manifold to Ypipe bolts. They can snap all they want to. I will be extra careful to start each one with my fingers af far in as I can to avoid cross threading. Should be a weekend of fun.

shouldnt be a weekend, just several hours. just remember to keep your patience and take a break every now and then to relax a bit.

REMEMBER to put EVERYTHING back where it came from and just like it came off.
