Default SS Headers ON

Finally got the SW headers on! They fit great actually! I didn't have to flip any motor mounts or anything like that.

I'll take some pics later on tonight.

In the meantime, I have to find a decent exhaust shop or welder in Central Florida (Orlando) to weld back up the bullet cats. I used to go see Jim from Performance Muffler here in town, but looks like he went out of business. I hate how the economy has hit the small businesses around the area.

I know, they are expensive, but then again - you always get what you pay for! I honestly wouldn't of gotten them if not for my tax return!

I put mine on early this year - drove to the muffler shop with just the headers and the bullet cats on

THey went in slick - didn't have to remove the starter or anything.

What company are the SW Headers (cant think of one with SW)? Did you need to unbolt or move anything other than the stock manifolds??? Sounds too easy, cant wait for pics!

Stainless Works makes the stainless headers I put in. I unbolted my entire exhaust, dropped the headers in from the top. Used header bolts, bolted them in, band clamps held the cats on. Kit cam with a bunch of pieces I could have used to hook up my old exhaust. Since my old exhaust had problems I threw it in the back and went to my new favorite muffler shop. They hooked up straight pipes from the cats to the old mufflers. It was cheap and she sounds great.

I had no problems installing mine from underneath. Slipped right up in. Now I just need to take it to a shop and have it welded up.
