Longtubes with an offroad H pipe increased my exhaust volume a LOT. If you plan to install yourself. Must have tools............13mm flexhead racheting box wrench and some gloves. Otherwise your will suffer major blood loss and massive frustration. Plan for an all weekend install.

Thanks for the tip. Where does the major blood loss come in?

trying to put the headers on without a shop lift haha remember you have to disconnect the steering shaft to put the headers in which isn't that big of a deal and be careful not to scratch them too much when u wiggle them in, not that it really matters haha

You will be shoving your hands and fingers into incredibly tight spaces surrounded by lots of sharp metal edges. You will cut yourself up a LOT. Having some gloves will save you pain and blood volume. The $15 flexhead racheting box wrench will get into those tight spaces and let you remove the stock manifold bolts and install the new ones. It will be the best $15 you have ever spent.
Timmbo had a great thread about installing his longtubes. Lots of tips in there.
