Default Header Install - In progress!

I received my ARH 1 5/8" Longtubes with catted x-pipe last week on Wednesay and just started the install today. I am using a lift and hand tools and a little more than 2 1/2 hours into the installation.

Currently I have already removed my old x-pipe and stock cats along with removing the starter. After that I finally took out the motor mount bolts and jacked up the motor to take the motor mount out. I also accomplished removing the old rusted passenger side exhaust manifold. I next installed the head and the lower bolts, then replaced the motor mount.

I am almost finished with the passenger side which I will pickup at tomorrow and can't wait for the driver side which should be a lot easier.

I'll post pictures when all is said and done and am about to schedule my dyno tune for Thursday! Also thought I might mention my hands are full of cuts and my back is really sore.

I just installed my FRPP shorties on my car and I can honestly say it was a pain the ***!!! The motor mounts just wont' let you get to that 2nd lower bolt on the passenger side. It ended up taking me a little longer then expected, but it was well worth the effort. I got the realign my exhaust while I was under there and the extra flow really made a difference with the exhaust note. Now my big money bassani's don't sound like glass packs!!! I love it!!!
