As promised...
Gorgeous new, shiny, beautiful headers -- better enjoy the newness while it lasts! LOL
All done...
Thank god we replaced the tranny mount... stock one was SHOT! It was falling apart!
...same with the engine mounts, but not as bad as the tranny.
All in a days work!
I cant wait to see what if feels like on my way to work tomorrow!

My dog, keeping guard while we finish up the install...


New ones, from above...

You guys/gals are lucky to have anyone help you at all. I did the Pacesetter's on my 96 SS myself and it was a PITA! I just put a dual 3" exhaust on my 70 SS396 myself. I put the supercharger on my 93 Z28 myself. The only help I've ever gotten was my brother to pump the brakes when I had to replace the calipers on my old 4Runner. And no air tools at my house! I prefer to do things the hardest way possible!

Great job on the headers and engine/trans mounts. But it looks like somebody stole your emission's stuff!

WOW! I mean, I had a good idea of what it would sound like, from other cars Ive heard, but I guess when its all about your car, its different....
It sounds amazing! When I get on it, the car throws me to the back of my seats... I love that feeling!
Well, Im super happy! I love the pick up it gave me, and the sound.
It smells good too -- mmmmhmmm.... like a race car!

I would also like to know if you kept the car on the ramps the whole time, or did you have to get it higher than that to get the headers slid in?
