I'm sure something has to come off from the top for them to go in...seeing as my car is STILL in the shop, I don't have a trans-am readily available to check LOL.They might go in thru the bottom, but most of the work would be bolting/unbolting things from the top...I really don't want to take any chances. I may wear a helmet or something if I do keep them and put them on. Just ask Josh how good it feels to get smacked in the mouth by a ratchet when it slips off a bolt and have to have a root canal...

I'm not the one who got hit with anything...he was tightening one of the three bolts that hold the H-pipe on the driver's side to the header. Ratchet slipped.

I'm sure he'll jump in and comment when he sees this.

yeah boys i let the ratchet slip and dropped it. I waited a few days and dealt with the pain and then went to the dentist and they told me i needed a root canal, so a couple days later i went to have the root canal done but they could not complete it because there was some infection on it. So for the last week i havent been able to sleep and been in some horrible pain.

the pains worse than what orajel will do! Loritab 7.5 dont even knock the edge off! The only thing i have found to take the edge off to make it bareable is 600mg of advil and 1000mg of tylenol all together. They are suppose to finish it monday so hopefully after that i will fill better.

I installed the headers, but did not put a x-pipe still has the h-pipe, jeffs muffler said it wouldnt be worth changing. Its a little bit louder and has a deeper tone to it. I like it but several people has said it sounds like a truck. They just dont know what the hell they really are listening to.

Thats because you still have the stock H-pipe. You need a x-pipe, it will change the sound big time(exspecially if you delete the cats). I wouldnt leave the stock h-pipe on, because you have a aftermarket catback, and longtubes but the stock h-pipe connecting the 2 of them.

Hey redhat do you think you could make it to the races this weekend?? We've got a cocky mustang owner down here that thinks hes got the baddest **** in the state. He called me out but heck i will prob only run low 7's on the bottle but i doubt i can do that on the street. Anyways he has a gutted LX 5.slow mustang with slicks and skinnies on a forged stroker with a dual stage 300 shot . So if you could come down here and stomp a mud hole in his *** for me .

Thats not funny, but it is kinda funny. You must have been tightening the **** out of that thing.

You know Sunday I was sitting in my recliner and thought Damn, I forgot to call Josh to meet you at Jeffs. It never crossed my mine Friday. Sorry! I forgot the laptop and all in my car. Maybe we can meet up another day soon and give it a shot.
