Take a xanax before hand so you stay relaxed.[8D]

Nah, I've heard the BBK longtubes are a really good fit.

You shouldn't have to do that.

At most you should just have to raise the engine a bit and mess with the motor mounts.

you dont have to do anything with the steering shaft but you will have to jack the motor a little bit to slide in the headers tho.

i hear you have to
A. unbolt the motor and jack it up on the side your working on
B remove the started while doing A on the pass. side

BBK Longtubes are supposed to fit really well, but their Midpipes for longtubes are notorious for fitting like ***
