UPS damaged the package somehow...took an extra day to get them. We're pretty sure they had to rebox it. We thought it was odd that the guy I bought them from put everything on one box [Eek!]

...pretty darn heavy!! He ran these without cats to so those extenders will have to come off

Anyway now Im waiting on the SLP cats, installation kit and header bolts and I'll be all set to go March 6th for the install! I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!

Mine arrived yesterday from PPC. UPS, no damage
and they look fantastic!

Anyone here done that install yet? Any tips?

Congrats Brian! A friend Tim is doing the install. He's done them before. Would you like to email him? Someone will probably reply that's done them before though.

Air ratchet a must for manifold removal. Passenger side-(cake) Drivers side-(Car has to be high enough, header almost straight up and down, it will go in easily once the exact position and turning is found, don't get frustrated it's there!)

I think the look alright. The parts you can see from the top of the engine bay look excellent...I don't think anyone is gonna strain their necks to see what's under that. Who buys headers for looks?

I mentioned on 'the other board' that if you just take some steel wool to that, it would help out a lot!! At least for a while [Roll Eyes]

Good luck with the install! [Smile]
