LTs and ORY installed! Video included I finally got my Pace Setter ceramic coated longtubes and ORY installed on Friday. I also threw in a set of MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs while I was in there. I won't say how long it took, but I'll say that I finally finished everything at 1:30AM 
Ran into a few snags along the way. Had to jack up the motor a little bit to get the driver side header in. It almost slid right in. Passenger side was a lot easier and had no problems. Had some help from one of my friends who posts on here as well so that was a good thing otherwise I would have been at it all night
I'm happy with the power increase. Definitely noticeable
I'm not sure if I like the tone of the exhaust though. It's a little too raspy for my tastes while cruising so I may add a Borla XR-1 Muffler in the I pipe. Other than that, I get a little bit of vibration while excellerating but over all I'm happy. I think once I add the Borla I'll definitely be happier with the sound.

I was blessed, didnt have to do anything with the motor. The headers slid right in. But I am getting paid back as now I have a crank bolt stuck in the crank. Getting it removed tomorrow. hehe. But I remember the header install. That sound when you first crank her up is great. HEHE Congrats.

bailed out early why? oh thats right I had to get the Kid. And lets not forgot who still did a majority of the uninstall and all but the passenger install. Wait i will give you credit you removed the cats and tightened down 3 motor mount bolts.
