if your installing the hooker longtubes your gonna have to undo the motor mount, just 3 bolts, then jack up the engine just a little and the longtubes will slide right up. Thats how i did it

I just got it higher but now it seems like it is just lifting the car the back header keeps touching the very end or the heads, if i could move them damn silver metal tubing by the computer i could probable manover it in better
