Just installed a set of LG streets the cats i bought from them did not fit thay were made to small sent me some more thay were to small i was pissed 3rd set fit. Install of the headers sucked never will i do it again. If it is a 2000 or older you must replace the air tube thay give you one with the headers that really sucked to replace it is in back of the motor by the firewall no fun. But car runs and sound better just be ready for some work. I even had a hoist good luck my friend.

Installed my streets alone in my garage on jackstands. Both sides went in from the top. No major problems with fitment of any of the pieces although lining it all up took quite a while to do.

Things to note:
Had to cut the holes in my DIY tunnel reinforcement plate for the O2 sensors.
Reused stock manifold gaskets and bolts.
Disconnected alternator.
Removed coil packs.
Air tube did not line up perfect, had to elongate one hole on each about 2mm.
Had to switch back to stock Ti mufflers from my Boral Quad Ovals because I would exceed local AutoX sound limit of 93db. Loved the sound and the drone wasn't real bad. No drone with stock Ti system. Borla roars under WOT, Ti snarls.....
Tuner removed the rear O2 sensor code issue.

Excellent mod.

Have them and love them. They sound great. Very easy install in my garage on jacks. Had them in and done in less than 2 hours total.

I think this is the best option for your application, Jeff. Good call.

I'm anxious to hear your impressions. Will you have it tuned? XP, SW, other?

ONE BMF, what a great looking system. Any clearance issues with the clamps on the right and left sides? They look close. How about your O2's, it looks like you used all 4, any codes yet?

I am looking at pulling the trigger on the same system. Any install problems or what it an easy install?

Thanks for the great pics. I see you have some heat pad.

Good tips!!
I installed using a lift which helped a lot, but still took me all day (first timer). Similar notes, but did not remove alternator and no problem with air tube. Reused most hardware and perfect match for the Corsa Indy pipes. LOVE THE MOD!!!
Good luck!!
