Default Shortie Header install

Does anyone know if you have to jack up the motor from the motor mounts or disconnect any suspension to install shortie headers? Also, will a tune be needed for the shortie headers?

There is no tune needed.

To do the install, you will have to jack up the motor and remove the motor mounts. I did mine with a floor jack and phone book to jack the oil pan. It seems scary, but its really not a big deal.

Here are the instructions I used http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1338

I did mine about the same way. I would be careful jacking at the oil pan. I changed my mounts also while i was under there.
