i dont have any really good pictures of the headers installed on the car. only pictures of my engine bay where you can kind of see them. I have heard many good things about pacesetter, yet i have also heard alot of good things about hooker, and i have no complaints yet.

 

ive just used a regular plug socket with no real problems. just tight getting my hands in to do the work. im kinda lucky that ive got skinny hands and forearms....

im thinking that header pipes may be in the way more that the manifolds are....making the slp socket a big help.

 

ok rusty old pacesetters, the dates on the pictures aren't correct, should have been today 9/29/08
the stainless steel Chevy emblems are covering the air injection ports, I had the air deleted in the tune










I haven driven it in 2 weeks, only 2nd and 3rd gears left,ignore the spiders

 

thanks for the pics. were they black to start? im just wondering if i should get the ceramic coating.

pacesetter make the LTs without the air and egr dont they?

thanks,
Jeremy

 

black yes

without air egr yes

I wasn't thinking far enough ahead

me thinks I got most of my junk for my car before I found this sight

hind sight is 20 20

 

hey slowride....can you get to #8 from the top with your headers? i hate that plug!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have a tool that works great for changing the plugs. I can get all of the passanger side from the top, the only plug I have to go under for is the number 5 that is easy from the bottom. The socket is only about 2 inches but it has no end so the whole thing fits over the plug. Just have to be carefull so I don't hurt the plugs when I install them.

 

Something like this

I don't know of any LT header that would make it harder than stock.

 

yea #8 from the top, just went and looked, looks easy

 

That's about thre worst one with me - #6 and #8 but I have SLP mid headers though. I can get tham all from the top using varius wrench combinations.

 

+1 on #8. I need to drop the starter. Easy to do, but just sucks up time.
My wife "helped" once cause she figured she could get her small hands around the primary. NOT! She dropped the plug but it never came out the bottom. After searching for 10 minutes, I had to drive to Advance and get 1 plug. After dropping the starter I got my plug in easy. Hooked it all up and fired it. I found the plug. It fell into the area where the primaries merge. I played hell to get the plug out by using the extending magnet tool. Carefully bending it and VERY carefully pulling up to a spot where I could reach it and finally pull it out.

on a side not: Kevin Blown 95 TA, do you ever get up to WIR? Where in WI are you located?

 

LOL... well your going to have to make a decision... change spark plugs or change diapers!!!

 

Hooker headers are a bigger pain then chaging plugs on the stock manifolds IMO. #6 on hooker super comps is the single biggest pain in the *** there is.

That said mac-mids are probably the easiest of any header.
