Default long tube install :(

well started the install ysterday at 9 am started smooth but then the problems began, wiggling my hand through the manifolds parts not lining up right bolts not going in it just wasnt fun. well i finally got everything together a good 10 hrs later and it still isnt connected to the rest of my exhaust so i am taking it to the shop and putting cats on and letting them finish it. but on the bright side after driving the car for 35 miles with open headers and no rear 02s it didnt throw the SES light so i dont know what to think. sorrry for the rant

the header bolts in my opinion are the worst part of the whole install. after that it was all downhill. plus it really helped that my system was a whole package and i didnt have to go to the hardware store or **** around with stupid ****.

i think im going to be doing a spec stage 3 clutch install and change out the plug and plug wires, so will it be easier to put the headers on since the trainy will be out of the car?

i really cant see it being any easier. it is also a good idea to change wires and plugs. but i didnt because its so much more easier to change them with long tubes in. with my system anyway
