Just wanted to say nice shot on how nice they tuck up, unlike more expensive ones that people complain about dragging/scrapping the ground. I did lots of research before buying. Was just trying to see how high the jack stands were, but got alot more info.

      The tuning process for this is just plugging in with HP tuners and deleting the rear O2 sensors. If you wanted to run high flow cats then you wouldn’t need to worry about removing the rear O2 sensors but you would need extensions for the harness.

      Yes, If the gaskets are aftermarket and have the open bolt holes on each end it’s easier to loosely put one screw in the back of the header and front of the header then just drop the gasket in and put the rest of you screws in after.
      If not, you just have to hold the gaskets in place while you install the headers. Can be a bit of a pain.
