What wires did you have to re-route when you got your longtubes in?

I'll take pictures, but I have to go to work in a little bit and I have a banquet to attend for a motocross series tonight, but I figured I'd at least get this thread started and get some pictures added later.

On the passenger side a couple of wires are really close, especially the wheel speed sensor wires, on both sides so I think I am going to have to re-route those somehow. What else did you have to re-route? I have Hooker Super Comp Long Tubes in my car, btw.

OK, I'll just have to post some pics to show everyone what I am talking about when I get a chance.

I didn't reroute any harnesses, I did make sure they were all properly secured away from the primaries though with cable ties.

very easy and strongly suggested. One zip tie is all it takes to tie it to the hard A/C line that runs between primaries 4 and 6. That way it is completely clear of any intense heat source.

The amount of heat the headers produce should be lower considering that they are ceramic coated, right? (In comparison to non-coated headers.)

not sure why you are asking this, but yes it is however doesn't matter coated or uncoated if you have wires extremely close or touching they will get burnt.

Careful routing now will prevent mystery misfires and other problems later. I too have the Hookers and routing really wasnt too bad compared to other headers Ive had and seen.

I have pacesetters and i didnt change a single thing from factory. I was expecting to have OTVC wires coming in the mail, but thanks to elitesparkplugs its been over 6 months and i still dont have them. miraculously i havent burned a wire yet, even going to the track on a 95 degree day.
