Are they easy to install. I have the original 4 cat converters. will I be able to bolt the headers to the front pipes or is there some welding needed?

Yeah I'm convinced. I will probably buy them from Summit.. Do you have any recomindations where I should buy them from. I might have to get them shipped to Denmark depending when I get out of here...

Yeah I found and read the posts. So to my knowledge the equals give 2 more hp output and on a stock 5.0 they are pain in the *** to install and have been known to burn the ignition wires. The Standard pair also called unequal to my knowledge give you nearly the same power and the same sound and are easy to install. Would you say I know everything I need to know??

Yeah except ceramic are better for cooling, but my budget chose the =length BBK chrome, just two bolts to remove once you get them off the heads. Not too bad to do unless the bolts are rusted.

hard to make my decision weather I should get equals or unquals. Is there any sound difference between equals in unequals? I don't expect any bolts to be rusted my car has been Gararaged unregistered for nearly 11 years, 65,000 miles. I really want my mod's to be ideal!
