They're fine now but the install was a PITA. The passenger side header only went in after loosening the tranny mount and getting a tie strap around the tranny and having everyone pull to one side. Meanwhile George is under the car and pretty much has to ram it through.
So yeah they're in and trouble free but none of us ever want to do that again. Think of it this way there was 7 of us working shifts and we still managed to get pissed of and frustrated. My hat goes off to anyone that managed to do the install by themselves.

No you don't, unless they're long tubes. The shorties don't add anything other than sprucing up the engine bay a little (they're not that obvious). The only other thing they do is **** off anyone helping you.
As much of a PITA that was, it was a fun day. Just keep the wooden stools way from me

Whoa! Arin is right, that dude is hot.....

In addition to the sprucing up, they have undoubtedly changed the way my exhaust sounds now. The trumpeting, raspiness, and the hard burbling/popping are all but gone now. All that's left is a clean and badmuthaf'r sound.

I think that has more to do with the engine than the headers. While the shorties cleaned up the sound a bit for me it didn't rid me of anything nor was it worth the work to put them in.

only here to stir the pot
how well can you see the shorties ?? if it's anything like Leo's you can kinda see them....
How much of the exhaust note is attributed to the shorties vs. the blower ??
Listening to Leo's car, it sounds barely different from mine if I can tell at all. So catted + stingers vs. shorties + cats + stingers... no discernable difference. I'm sure it will smooths things out, but still not worth it by a long shot, IMO.

Geez, after hearing Brian and your report on the shorties, glad I have the different piece of the puzzle.
Brian, take mine for a non-flogging test drive next time we're all together and you'll hear the difference.
Will the Fly step in and make this official?
