Default RE: Best Setup?

I have heard that bbk's dont fit autos. Mac, flowtech, and hooker are all reasonable for $. I got mac long tubes, and they were a tight fit and a pain in the *** to install. It was well worth it though. Hooker would be ok they sell a x pipethat would go with the lt'sand is a direct fit.

It was a pain. I broke my manifold stud off in the head. lucky I even got that out. Some of the header bolts are a pain in the butt. you will need a 1/4 drive with extention and a swivel socket(11mm) for mine. Locking header bolts are a must, also pain in the *** to get those all on. Its a pretty tricky job and was very frustrating. Egr tube and fittingwas a pain tooI striped mine and had to order a new one. If I wasnt waiting on the snap on truck for the socket and If the stud whould of came out I would of had it done in about a weekend.
I have a off road prochamber. Some things thatI would recommend. Good header gaskets.I got some copper gaskets,stage 8 lockingheader bolts(you dont want to drop your k-member again). I also put a new starter on also, it looks very hard to get at with the headers in the way. If you got any morequestions just hit me up.
