glad to hear you got in! btw- i didn't hear anyone mention this with these headers yet, but it was a serious b*&$ to get the right side control arm bolt in because of that #8 primary. I have the BMR lower control arms too and it was extremely difficult to get that bolt in from the top.

Guys I'm having major issues with my LPP longtubes / off road y pipe. Today I bolted the headers on with the gaskets they came with (couldn't use the Mr. Gasket Copperseals I bought because the porting on the headers were so big the ports overlapped the raised seal area on the gastets, so those were useless.) Had to grind down both the passenger side and drivers side K member to BARELY clear that and used the air chisel with a blunt tip to smash in my frame rail to clear the #8 primary barely. Now comes the big issue, I bolt the headers up tight and go under to test fit the y pipe and my collectors are pointing up towards the floorboards so much that there is no way the y pipe can go on. I don't get it? Also looks like the bracket on the y-pipe isn't going to line up to where its supposed to go its almost hitting the trans crossmember (A4). I unbolted the crossmember and dropped the trans down a bit to be able to slip the y pipe on to get it out of the floor and when I jacked it back up the pipe hits the floor and the crossmember still has to go up another inch to be able to bolt back up to the floor. I haven't even tried the steering coupler yet. I'm gonna go out in a few and take some pictures to try and show what it looks like, hopefully I can get through to Carl tomorrow and see what he says. 
I just wanna drive my carrrrrr.

yea the y-pipe mount plate or what ever the hell its supposed to be didnt line up to anything for me either i just torched it off, secondly i cut off all the slip on joints and welded in some turbo v-band flanges at the corrcect angles to fix leaks and fit perfect then.....
