Default Help with headers/intake install this weekend!!

I'm planning on installing my long tubes/catted Y and LS6 intake this weekend and I'll pretty much being be doing it on my own, with it being my first time to install these things. I live in Spring off Rayford Rd and I should have most of the tools, but I could use help from anyone that is willing to. I'll start it friday after work and hopefully finish it up by saturday night.

I can't pay but I'll have cold beer and food for anyone that is there.

Just mapquest 1319 Caraquet, Spring, TX 77386, or give me a call at 979-422-0972 if you want to stop by.

Yes I did actually, just wasn't sure about it. I thought it involved a bit of work; this is my daily driver so I'm trying to not to get in over my head so that I can get to work on Monday. I'm probably being skeptical, but maybe I'll order some today.

If your stock motor mounts aren't busted no reason to change them.

It's American Racing 1-7/8 headers w/ a 2 piece catted Y with all band clamps, so no welding thank goodness. Hopefully it should go pretty fast, I'm getting rid of the EGR so hopefully we can finish it fast. We'll see how we feel about motor mounts when we do it, I'm still on stock internals so no real need for em I guess.

One question I do have is, if I change out the intake friday night, will I still be able to drive it to your shop without the EGR on the manifolds plugged up?
