Default finished installing headers& motor mounts

Well today i finished installing my pacesetter headers and poly motor mounts. The motor mounts were even more of a pain in the *** then the headers were. the passenger header went in first try slipped in like butter. the drivers i had to cut off the tab, so i started then shattered the blade on the sawzall. Kinda scared the **** out of me. So i ended up grinding it down the rest of the way, then they went right in. Im thinking it took me about 12 hours total. not including breaks. If i didnt do the motor mounts im thinkin 2-3 hours. They fit so good, i dont have clearance issues with anything. tomorow i am going to take the EGR and AIR out. I hooked them up loosely just so i could start it. Unfortunately now, i have to wait another 2-3 months before I can drive it again. Now i need to weld up my muffler, and cutout. cant wait till spring!!!

That is the truth. We could put an exhaust shop out of business telling everyone to do their own work.
