Default Helped install M2 Shorty headers on 06 4.0 V6 Mustang

So I helped my cousin install a set of the Ebay M2 Shorty stainless headers on his 06 Mustang v6 Convertible. The welds looked very decent and all the burs/slag inside of the headers was all cleaned up and smoothed down. The quality of them for $109.99 Shipped was extremely surprising. The install was really smooth and was done in his driveway within 2-2.5 hours using basic hand tools. These are tied in with his BBK intake and Flowmaster Force II Catback. I drove the car and it felt and sounded really nice. He said it felt like it had some better response. I can't say that I can tell the difference though being that my car is a auto and his is a 5spd.

Here are a couple pics of the headers installed.

I have the same headers, have not installed them yet. Any tricks to help make it go smoothly? Did you reuse your factory bolts or the ones in the kit?

Used the factory exhaust stuts that go into the head, but had to use the bolts that came with the headers for mounting the cats to the headers. Also you're going to need about a half inch longer bolt for the dipstick.

hi I'm looking to install shorty headers on my 2006 mustang v6 like you got off ebay. I was wondering how hard it was to get the converter bolts off and on. Can it be done with jack and stands? Also where can I get a longer bolt for dipstick? Thank you for any help!!!
