Re: MACs on an 02Z You might want to look into any oil consumption problems from installing the headers? On the LS1 forum......guys who never had consumption problems before the header install now have serious smoke and oil consumption problems...even after tuning? This is after installing MAC headers and removing the cats? Nobody can figure out why.

Thats crazy!!
I did mine Saturday morning with my GM tech buddy at the dealership and we were done in like 2.5 hours, and that was with lots of breaks for staring at hot chicks and what not.
We raised up the motor (undid the motor mounts) and went in the bottom...no prob.
Thanks
Mike
