For the prochamber, You'll need a universal extension or swivel for the passenger side 15MM nuts. Also, put some WD40 or Liquid wrench on the nuts before you start the project. Makes things a ton easier. Be nice to the passenger side when removing the stock mid pipe so you can reuse the factory gasket. It works much better than the one MAC provides. For the HE, I think its pretty straight forward. Just have your bucket ready to catch the coolant that comes when removing the stocker. When refilling, pour slowly to avoid getting air in the system. Use the same brand and coolant type when refilling. Make sure the water used for mixing the new coolant is distilled water.

You need a universal. Just keep working with it. You will get it.

i am giving up for tonight, going to the track in the am, but i'll go at it again tomorrow night. just can't quite get the socket to hold tight on that bottom nut right when it feels like it's about to turn it, the angle of the extentions causes it to pop off. frusterating to say the least.

Yea that side is a pain. Took me a while to do mine. ME and my buddy just used a long extension and we were able to get it there.
