Default EM Headers Install Pics (lots of them)

I put these in about 2 weeks ago, I just got around to posting the pics now. I know the car looks really dirty, need some Zaino and Simple Green time with it

The rear manifold bolt on this pic is a PITA to remove at first




Old exhaust system out


The upper left bolt on this cat is also a nightmare

Looks like a good job. But for the love of God man, please re-route your plug wires. Is that as up against the header as it looks?? Or just pic?

Where the tube broke off


View with oil pan off




New Felpro pan gasket, much thicker than orginal + no leaks


Clearance is great
