Feel like taking a drive over to phoenix?

 

dude, install them yourself, don't pay somebody. there isn't a better feeling than when you get done, and you know you did it, because if there is something wrong you then have a better idea where its at and how to fix it. Headers and exhaust aren't too bad either. Also, then you know your car that much better.
Just my $0.02

 

It's really straight forward. We put both my longtubes in from the top. Took more time getting all the old stuff off than getting the new stuff on. Going to run nicely when its all said and done.

 

couldnt agree more. if youve never one anything find a local forum or a friend whos done it before and have him walk you through it. after putting it in and starting it up...you wont be sorry.

 

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I'm not completely mechanically illiterate. I've done the posi swap and replaced a fuel pump on a fourth gen. Will there be any welding or cutting with the stock exhaust catback? I have an cutting wheel but no welder. I guess I could just take it to a muffler shop afterwards.

 

If you can swap a fuel pump and a posi unit a set of headers is going to be CAKE! Only frustrating part is going the old rusted junk out. We had to use a 1/2" impact pushing 600ft. lbs to get mine off this weekend.

 

I presprayed all the bolts with PB Blaster real good the day before and 20 min before taking them out. The all came out fairly easily

 

dd pacesetter lts here too, plenty of gc

 

Same here, I sprayed down every bolt on the car for a week with PB Blaster before touching anything with a ratchet. I read too many horror stories of people snapping exhaust manifold bolts in the head.

 

My manifold bolts actually came out easily.... it was the collectors that gave us fits. Having an impact saved us a lot of time. Still haven't started the car yet. Going to finish it off tomorrow and drive it home.

 

Those gave me problems too... nothing the added leverage of a breaker bar couldn't take care of though.

 

yea im installing pacesetter LT's on my DD this winter.....im gonna soak the crap out of the bolts for a few days before i take the manifolds off....

 

Is there a howto for doing the long tube install anywhere?

 

OMG!!! I meant to take pictures! CRAP!

 

It's ok. Just remove and reinstall the headers for me with pics!
