Default Header install.

I'm tired of my headers sitting in my living room, I WANT THESE DAMN THINGS ON!

With that being said, I can't find any decent shops that want to install longtubes in the McKinney area.

I've had previous cars taken to Pronto Muffler where they installed a cat-back perfectly fine, had them try headers on my V6 and they fucked up real good.

My dad can weld, but said no to the project, so where have you guys taken your cars to get LT's on?

I have never tried something like this, but what about installing them myself (lol, I need to look heavily into that) then taking them somewhere to get the y-pipe welded in?

Well theres a guy here in Bacliff, he does them for 150. And he does a good job too.

But I'm not sure how far Mckinney is from there. :S

Major PITA on the lt1s but they can be done. If you have a little mechanical know how and some patience you can do it.
