OK who else has bassini headers

Man that driver side is a b!tch to install. You guys that have installed them did you have to move your exhaust out and
move the motor like I had to do? I don't want to have to go
through this again ever. It just seemed to me there should
be an easier way.

Havent installed any myself, but from what I hear its not just the Bassani's that are a bi*ch to install, they are all pretty tight.

On a side note, if your from AZ check this out...

Send me an email! I am about to install my shorties, finally got the stock stuff out. I have the instructions from Bassani if you need them. But if you are done I wouldn't mind knowing a few tricks or pain in the butt stuff you ran into.

I will be finishing up the rest today. The headers are on
but I have no Idea how I am going to tighten the two
front bottom bolts on the driver side. Does anybody have
any idea or advise?

KC I live in Tempe and I probably won't make it but it
would be nice if we can get a club going here. I watch
the boards but hardly post.

Yeah, knowing what I know now I wish I went with long tubes.
I can't believe they make it this difficult. But now there in and they are not coming out. I can't wait to get it started to see how
it sounds.
