Default Headers make me cry :(

Ok, so I go to install my shorties today and I'm like WTF!

I can't even see the stockers...rofl... Ok, so right now I'm taking the H-pipe off (need to anyways to put on the new Mac H-pipe) and I just can't figure out where to start from there.

It seems like you'd have easy access through the wheel wells? Can someone give me some guidance/instructions here?

They're ST's FRPP on an auto 98GT....

I thought the only way to put them on was to pull the engine, am i wrong or is this just with LT's ne -ways good luck. and use some penetrating oil to break those nuts loose. i had a hard enough time putting on my h-pipe while it was on a lift

My uncle has a Trans Am and he has installed all his mods himself including headers. I remember him saying that when we put on the headers he took out the radiator to give him more space. I don't know if that helps or not. Good Luck

Hehe only on 4.6's b/c of your overhead cams, lol.

You can get them off a 5.0 in about 15 mins.
