Default Well, finally got everything on.

This weekend I put everything on in my sig. Needless to say it was a PITA!!!! but it was worth it. Took a total of 23 hours.

We ran into some problems with the MM and it took about 6 hours which sucked. Then my buddy broke a header blot off in the head.

After all, it looks great and sounds even better but it really rattles my whole center counsel. Ill see if I can see some pics up today when I get home.

A lift, airtools, and ratcheting wrenches were amazing.

The MM werent really hard...just very time consuming gettting everything lined up. Some bolts are a pain to get to. Power isnt as much as i expected but alot more and the mpg didnt really go down significantly.

I replaced my knock sensors and harness because everyone says that in a '98 specifically they arnt as good. I'm not sure about a '00. I'm glad I did becayse the back sensor had a bad wire, it was all corroded or however you spell it.
