AWESOME!!!

Curious, though, is there more coming? It seems incomplete.

Have you had a dyno before/after yet or do you plan on it? I guess if you didn't have a pre-dyno then we can scrap that idea, but a dyno session after the fact would still be nice!

Great job, great pix!

How long total did this take you? When I put long tubes on my '96 Mystic Cobra it took me 24 hours total, LoL!

Here is some pix of that!

BTW, my EGR tube gave me fits too! Mine stripped but not off of the header...it seized up and then stripped off of the diverter valve.

Everyone take a look at my agony (I had more pix but the film messed up ).

How does it seem incomplete? There's really nothing more too it. Passenger side is as simple as unbolting the manifold and studs and attaching the header. All the fun parts occur on the driver side...

I'll be updating the tutorial with dyno results next time I'm out at the dyno, seat of the pants tells me it definately made a healthy improvement.

The install took me 6.5 hours, but if you follow the tips in the tutorial, it shouldn't take more than 5.5. I spent an hour fooling around with the one bolt on the drivers side and ended up removing the header, notching the flange and pre-threading the bolt.

I was meaning it the way it sounded. There just wasn't any pix of them installed up on the motor and the difficulties you went through to bolt the new ones back up. It all seemed more based on removing them.
