Where did you order them from, and how long did it take to get them?

Not issues at all... begin with passengers side, then you do the drivers side in like 1 hour at most when you know how to do it.

Snap some pics if you can, I'm curious to see how they fit into the engine bay and bolt up to the stock exhaust

Let us know what kind of difference they make after you take it out for a drive

well i did tsp true dual exhaust install with it all. since your hooking it back to the stock exhaust i would say 3-4 hours if you dont play around and go for one goal getting it installed.

the hardest part is the last 2 bolts on each side of the original headers. hopefully you got some long thing wrenches ect makes it alot easier.

what is cool is if you ever decide to remove the cats ect. the whole #8 plug being impossible to remove is no more. oyu wil be able to reach from under the car alongside the headers.



just dont loose any of your bolts and screws ect .

also once you have them installed. after driving a few time after about 2-3 days check the bolts again. and retighten if needed. the cold and heat will make the botls sometimes loosen. it happens alot. also make sure you spray on some anti sieze to the bolts before wrenching the headers down also

No need to unbolt the steering knuckle if you jack the motor up just a tiny bit on the drivers side. Also on the same side unbolt the strange piece next to the oilfilter (two 10mm bolts) they will pop right in. Or at least my hookers did. If you dont have a catback get a cutout for sure.
