Default My header install

Well i put my headers and y pipe on last night so I figured I would do a follow up. I have pace setter header and ory. Well taking everything off was alil bit of a pain. Especially the passenger side. Even getting the spark plugs were kind of a chore. I didnt have to disconnect the steering knuckle. BUt after that the headers went in within 5-10 mins for both headers. Then bolting it all back up and putting the plugs back in was alittle bit of a hassel. Oh both headers had to go in through the bottom. But over all it was a good learning experience. I have a leak somewhere but its my first header install. Im pleased with the final product. Thanks for the help and to the ones who did all the writes up on the header installation.

Wow you had to remove the steering knuckle? I've never had to do that on any Pacesetter F-body install...

oh, I bet you didn't cut off the casting tab... Yeah, the hardest part is always taking the old stuff off..haha
