Default New headers

Picked up my new set of headers today, I'm happy with the way they look.

Now for the fun part...fitting them.

One side done.

and the good news is, the left side is easier !

dont forget also, you may need a heated o2 sensor to get the ecm into closed loop sooner.

Thanks Blackozvet, appreciate your input!

Do you have a set of aftermarket headers on your vet? Pacemaker?

Nice looking car, have you had it for long?

I can't believe how clean your engine compartment is. I'm jealous.
