Thanks just wanted to make sure. This guy tried telling me his car had 600 horsepower and that he had 5000 in his engine. His heads were stock and his engine looked like ****. All he had was a k&n air filter and a cobra intake. I just acted like I believed him, took his headers for discount and left. I wonder if he actually believes the hot air he spews.

I just read that if you have a crap AOD that the longtubes will hit the bell housing. I plan on swapping the aod for a t5. But thats a summer project. I was going to install the longtubes tomorrow. Any body know if this is true. Sorry about the lontube error. My g button was sticking. Just noticed.

I have the bbk ceramic coated longtubes. When I first installed them I had an issue of my steering knuckle rubbing against them preventing me from turning. Turns out my motor mounts were TRASHED! so take a good look at those while you're down there and get ready to do them as well if they haven't been done already. The driver's side header slid right into place for me from underneath the car, but i think the passenger side has to come in from the top and have the mounts loose like you mentioned to add clearance. Good luck.
