Mine are on the way. Bought from a forum member. I think I'm going to have them power coated black by a local shop. My car is black, so I think they'll look good that way. They currently have hi-temp black paint finish.

I had a set of chrome side pipes on order at mid america but cancelled it till I decide which way to go (they were out of stock anyway). What kind of price can I find stainless for? They said they couldn't get the stainless ones at mid america. If someone knows of a great deal on stainless please PM me with the vendor and the price - thanks!

one question for those who have them installed already, How do you guys get your car on a lift, or can you withthe header pipes where they are at?
will I be doomed to ramps and jackstands ???

Here is some pics when I installed. A lift isnt necessary, but This was the Minimum jackstand height I could get away with. They are topped out. Anything less caused problems one way or another. Its not a difficult install, but having the clearance to get fully under the car is definitely a real big plus.

Humm good point. I always thought I would be restricted to a jack and jackstands for the rest of my life...but I'd like to think that one day I could win the lottery and buy a lift...which would raise the concern of the sidepipes. When I mocked up my setup the headers and sidetubes sat a little under the frame level so that would cause some issues with a power lifts arms. I would assume you might have to find thicker attachments for your lift that could serve as spacers to contact the frame without hitting the pipes. Good point though.

I guess that's a good thing.

would someone be nice enough to take some pics from underneath with them installed. I have a two post lift and feel as though it will be an issue getting the lift arms positioned correctly.
Thanks!
Thanks!
