Default Headers Finally

Well i finally broke down and bought my headers. Hoping they come this week. I think they shipped friday so i'm looking at late this week if everything is on schedule. Hoping to have them in at the end of the week or early next week also hoping for no problems on the install. Hope i have everything i need. Now i just have to wait until the track opens to see if i gained enough to get me in the twelves!! if i don't throw out the clutch yet. Just a little excited so i had to vent a little of that to you guys lol

you should be able to get them in before the weekend is over. just be sure to get the front end up high enough. if you haven't invested in a ratched wrench i suggest picking one up.

The trans really doesnt get in the way, its more ground clearance, so get yourself some bricks and jack it up on them them .. then jack the front up... and its not easy as everyone makes it sound trust me!!!...

I had to put my jack on the kmember and then jack it up all the way to give myself enough room.

I had to close the hood because when the car was jacked up all the way the hood would hit the roof of my garage.
