Default longtubes installed!

Just threw my flowtech headers on. took about 5 hours, dropped the kmember and it was actually pretty simple, all the bolts were staring me in the face which was nice. the bitch part was the xpipe that was about an inch too narrow and i had to widen it with my "persuader" to get it to bolt up. but it's all on and good now, no leaks yet. *knock on wood*. sounds totally different and it almost feels like it picked up quite a bit but that's just me thinking things i'm sure. here's some pics of the header clearances, i must say for 280 bucks for the flowtechs they may look like **** but they installed nicely with plenty of clearance around the starter, steering shaft and auto trans.

Nice! So what exactly do you run for exhaust now?

FYI, when i did my long tubes i gained 20 rwhp & 57 rwtq on the 100 shot. There were no changes to a/f or anything.

Thought you might like to hear that.

My exhaust is flowtech headers/ catless xpipe and magnapack catback. I love the sound of it now it sounds awesome. And that's an insane pick up in torque mrt! I'm gonna have to re-race that evo now lol.

Grats on the Longtubes dude! With as quickly as you are building this car up it will be a 10 second car in no time. You need to start sending money/parts my way to help me with my build. :-)

Nice, how hard is it to drop the k-member? Was this just a driveway install or was it done on a lift?
