Default Question About Longt

instalation was not a problem on my car. its an 88 gt. The right side goes in from the top, and it fits in pretty easily. you have to pull out the plugs and take out the dipstick (if it is a manual). the left side is trickier but not too hard. you have to move some of the ac and heater hoses out of the way. you also have to bring the header up from the bottom of the car. you have to pull the starter off. we used bbk 1 5/8" headers. the directions that came with the kit called for the motor to be unbolted from the mounts and the throttle body to be removed, but we didnt do either. it just takes some wiggling to get them in.

also clearance is not ever an issue. my car is lowered 2" and the headers have only scraped once on a gravel road. the collector for the header fits right up into the crossmember. they fit very flush.

Yeah it sucks. I'm paranoid just driving with an O/R X-pipe. Car is f'n LOUD. I swear, you can hear my car coming from blocks away, and that's not exagerrating. My parents tell me my dog runs to the fence and waits like 3 mins for my car to pull up cuz she recognizes it and waits for me. $1000 fine for each cat missing, and I (we) have four. Gotta find the $400 for an X with cats.
