Thumbs up Well im half way done with my header install.

Like it says half way done and boy am i glad!! Removing the old exhaust was a major pain in the ***. Luckily no twisted bolts or anything of that matter. So tomorrow morning i will begin installing my Jet Hot LT's. Do you guys have any tips for the install? Wich was the hardest part for you? Installation of the new headers, or removal of the stock exhaust? Btw im going with true duals so no worring about a Y-pipe fitting up. Thx guys, Tyler

i think taking off the stock parts will feel like cakewalk once you really get in there and try to install the headers..................good luck............

Last bolt on the passenger side SUCKS. Also, I didn't have my car up high enough, so I had to jack the engine up to get the passenger side header tube in. That and I had to mash the two wing things on the stearing shaft otherwise it would have hit the #1 tube.

Ok thx for the info, im using stage 8's so hopefully the bolts will be a little easier since i can use an allen wrench also. Anything else? Thx Tyler

If getting the headers in there start to drive you crazy dont be afraid to jack the engine up. Helped me a ton. The passenger side slides in fromt he bottom without jacking the engine up or removing the starter. At least it did with mine. I have Hooker LT's btw. Probably not much difference. Good luck and your gona love them. Especially after you race an LS1 with them on, hehe. Wakes the LT1's up big time on top-end.
