All done, Not very hard, easyier to put the bolts on.

I DID have to jack the motor up a bit because of the taller valve covers, No big deal I changed out the motor mounts today anyway. Thanks for the help guys Ill post some pics later.

Yea they look fawking great. Only that they are used crome ones so they are a lil discolored. Wonder if its going to make a difference in sound. You think?

Somebody else here recently installed some long tubes and noted that the sound in the interior was diferent, and that he liked the diference. He didn't say if the exterior sound was diferent, but I would assume it is, at least to some degree. But I wouldn't be suprised if the exterior tone dif is less than the interior tone dif.
