TPIS Header question
I am about to order the TPIS headers for my GS. What is the installation like? My friend who works at an exhaust shop is helping so I don't think it will be too bad. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Re: TPIS Header question (Hammer)
Could I get the pics as well? I am doing mine this weekend (assuming the catback shows up) and would like to learn more about the install....
Thanks!

Very easy to install, just make sure you get the coated ones.

Re: TPIS Header question (chucks88)
I just got my pics this morning (late on checking emails) and they came out VERY nice... who did the custom work for you? My kit goes from the headers into a single cat, then into a rear y-pipe. I was told it would flow the power I will be making better than a dual setup.

Re: TPIS Header question (Dave-T)
How much will the headers move the torque peak? This is important because I am shopping for a converter and was considering the Yank ST3500 but thats too much for a stock LT1's torque peak. Whereas if the headers move my torque peak into the 4000rpm range, I will be fine.
Basically I need to see someone's dyno sheet who has a basically stock LT1 with headers.
Thanks!

Re: TPIS Header question (Dave-T)
Dave, thanks for the pis, they look great. Question for you: It appears that you went to a heated(3 wire) O2 sensor. Was this required to keep it at operating temp with the headers, or was your car originally equipped like that?
