You
do understand that you actually have to install them to reap the HP benefit, right Tom?

This is my next "big" purchase, as I am doing gears next week. I should be ready to go with the next gp. The problem is $700 turns into $1400 quick with bolts, gaskets, extensions, cats/sims...

It is however a bit more expensive that what is being offered here for the group buy.

Just a heads up...another forum member purchased the 1 5/8" headers and had problems making them fit. He complained bitterly about it in a thread not long ago. Do a search if you are interested in these headers.
BTW I purchased the 1 3/4" headers a couple of years ago and I have had no problems. I even passed emmissions.

Thanks

They will be. Also, it will give your hands time to heal from the camshaft install.

Haha...only two small scratches on my hands
. I took it slow and steady. Watch...I will probably get more cuts from doing the headers.
