BTW, congrats to the poster of this thread. Your car sounds GREAT!
I should know though, since I have that exact same set-up on my '02. 
Granted, it's coming off for a Flowmaster true dual set-up in a couple of weeks... 
Enjoy your new set-up,

So we undid the big 18mm bolt in the motor mount and tried lifting the engine. The bolt didn't seem to come all the way out. So we got the engine up about an inch, still wouldn't slid in. Undid the tranny mount and jacked the back of the tranny hoping to tilt the engine a little and let it slide in. Nope. About this time, I'm ready to yak.
I start having the BubbleGuts in the stomach. Nerves are getting to me. So we do the motor mount one more time. We jacked up it so high, the intake started to hit my strut tower brace. Held up, undid that, and continued. A couple of pumps of the jack and BOOM! It's in!!! :

Great man! Sounds like your install went just like mine. I got lucky and removing the oil filter was enough to get the driver side header in, no jacking on the engine necessary.
I also didn't mess with that EGR pipe. I was able to pull the manifold with EGR still attached out through the top.
Boy they sure do sound sweet though. I recommend a cutout in the I-pipe for setting off car alarms.

Congrats on your new setup. I am still debating on what setup I want to use. I love the stainless but the price is still out of reach for now. Can you fill the difference on the low in torgue?

As for my cam, stock bumpstick.
As for the price for stainless steel, it's expensive, but I don't want to by buying parts just to replace them later. I want to get what I want the first time and be done with it. Why spend $500 on Pacesetters/ORY that *MAY* end up rusting out or getting eaten through? I didn't want to risk spending my hard earned coin on something that won't last the life of the car.
