I think shell sound like a raped ape,can't wait to hear a vid and see some pic of your setup.What is your project you have going on,F-body by any chance?

 

Most likely it'll be an LS swapped 3rd gen on the bottle. Only time will tell...

 

Sounds fun,wish I could buy my first car back to do the same but twin turbo instead.There a 3rd gen on here,User name TPI Terror.His **** is SICK,you'll find him in the western section...

 

I figure it'll be enough to move me up a bracket around here. The 13 second bunch is getting thinned out.

 

Rather than welding the merge collector to the downpipe, I'm considering a v-band clamp. It's a bit of extra welding, but should mean I only have to install the rear header once.

Anyone else considered this?

 

Yep the 3 piece ones, but they run like 20-30 bucks. Hmm $10 ebay one here I come.

 

To those who have the Hogan catted down pipe, who may be looking to get rid of it when their headers come in, hit me with a PM. I'd be interested in taking a lightly used one off some ones hands. If any one has one that is willing to part with it, for a good price, let me know. Thanks guy!

 

So I got both front and rear banks on. Not that bad to do. I have to wait till tomarrow to get the straight pipe to replace the cat. I need to do some spring cleaning in the engine bay too.

 

They look good.

 

Anyone know if the finish will change colors from that mirror-like shine?

 

ji22my, vids are in order once that bitch is welded up!

 

I'd think they would fade, but maybe not for a while. I've had ceramic coated headers on 2 Ford trucks, and they eventually got some surface rust.

Did you have to use a hoist? whats with the chain and any tips?

 

thats amazing!
I want mine ASAP, I've been on the list for a while, no one has contacted me yet...I have the money ready lol any help would be appreciated!

 

20SS06 - Call them. When I found out they were done and ready to ship, I called and paid in full. I never gave the $100 deposit. I called and paid and he said they would be shipped out that day.

No hoist. Doing it in my garage with jackstands. I had the chain ready to rock the engine foward for more clearance, but once I took off the valve cover, the rear bank slid right out. The instructions that they give are decent. I think the only thing that wasnt on there was that I had to take out the oil dipstick. No big deal.

 

Thanks for the info ji22my, I figured I'd call them, I just did and they're closed it's almost 7 P.M. over there, Ill try tomorrow and keep you updated.

 

I was just thinkin the same thing. How much time have you got invested in it so far and are you following along with the directions for the most part??

 

Yeah this is what I want to know as well! BTW looks nice!!

 

I followed the directions when I needed to. I took off the crossover then the front bank. Then I put on the front header. Then I took out the downpipe and cat. Then rear coils, wires, plugs, and valve cover. Took out the old, put in the new.

The hardest part was wrestling the old manifolds out. The headers slid in so easy. Just like butter.

I would say I have about 4 hrs in and maybe 2 more left. I am doing a shift kit too. I might wrap the crossover.

 

Hey ji22my

Whats coil setup you running on there? Looks like 5th gen coil?
