'11 5.0

After about 16 total hours this weekend the headers and X pipe are installed and the car sounds awesome! For those of you considering putting headers on your 2011 gt...it's not a job for the faint of heart (hopefully your wife has small hands and is willing to help, like mine)! The ARH system is top notch, perfect fitment.

Now I just need this Minnesota winter to let up so I can get it out on the road!

I don't care who tells you what, if you are the average guy, working in your garage, on the floor with Jack stands, anyone would have a tough time with that job.

You had to lift the engine, remove the motor mounts, starter, steering knuckle, and then deal with the passenger side which was a complete nightmare. I used every tool in my garage, 1/4, 3/8/ 1/2 drives, extensions, knuckles, ratcheting wrenches, etc...

Now that I know exactly what I'm doing I might be able to trim a couple hours off of it but I wanted to make sure I didn't damage anything during the process. Oh, by the way, I hope your helper is 5'2" tall with super small hands to start the 3 bolts on the passenger side that are almost humanly impossible to get to.

It was fun though and It's going to run like a raped ape!

Me and my father did it in 7 the other night, but he has also been building motors his whole life. congrats on the install though and thank the lord you had help lol cause it would've been impossible to do it alone.

I couldn't agree more about the help. I made a video and am in the process of getting it off of the camera.
