Default Dropping engine in with long tubes...

Ive got a set of FlowTech long tubes just sitting in my basement. I found that if you dimple a few primaries, they work with GT40P heads.

Now, I know the FlowTechs are a royal pain to install, so I was wondering how difficult it would be to throw the engine in there with the long tubes bolted on them.

just lay them in the engine bay, then lower the motor down on top of them

thats the best way to do it... if ou do it with them on itll be a pain in the as... just set them inplace, and drop the motor btwn them, then bolt up

I have a set of flowtech long tubes on mine and they are piece together headers...what your suppose to do is cut the flange in 3 spots on the passanger side and piece them together that way and on the driver side once.....I'm not a fan of the flowtechs even though I have them...knowing what I know now I'd of got a different set...they leaked at all the piece together joints and I had to wrap the joints with header wrap and clamp it as the exhaust fumes were abnoxious[:'(]
