Have fun putting that on. God it was such a b*tch to put my headers on....took about 2 days with some grinding and a lot of cuts on the hands from wrench slippage. But it was SO WORTH IT!

The pacesetters are nice for the money, they are treating me well so far.
My install was a bitch...took way way over 5 hours. Musta taken me anywhere from 20-25 hours, but I was working by myself and had a downright helluva time getting my old exhaust off. I also made the taylor otvc wires and had a hard time getting my y-pipe on too. I was so frustrated putting mine on, and quit several times, but when I was finally finished it felt so good. I also had scrapes and cuts every on my hands and arms, but it sure beat having to have a shop do the work for me. When I decide to do heads and cam I will tackle that myself too, just feels so much better doing it yourself.

quaterback and SVThis i noticed both of u have LS1's were those the cars u installed longtubes on? cause i have installed shorties and LT's on both LT1's and LS1's and shorties on the Lt1 was harder than Lt's on the LS1. I don't know about 20-25 hours but my headers in my 94 z28 sure were a bitch to put in.

Theres more to a complete install than just "dropping them in". You gotta bolt them up to the heads and the rest of the exhaust.
