Default TPIS Long Tube Headers question / HELP

I am planning to install the TPIS next week, and was wondering about these things:

- How long did it take to install, and what did you guys pay for i(installation)?
- How is the clearance to the ground compared to stock, are these sitting any lower, therefore the lowest point on the car?
- Anyone knows about any SMOG problems with these installed?
- I assume, I should update my Powerloader as well correct?
- Going to change my plugs & wires at the same time, what "gap" should I go for with my listed mod's?

Many thanks to all of you for any feedback!

I'm think strongly about LT's also, what about the O2 sensors? I've heard threads about error codes when not using a certain type of sylicone to seat the sensors. Do the sensors just unscrew out of the stock shorties and into the LT's

Hey wallstAL were did you get your LT installed @? I had a set installed a WWC but it cast a lot more and they had problems with the TTS install.

Hello wallstAL

Who installed you TTS headers, if I may ask?
I am still not sure if I go with the TPIS or the TTS. I would love to have them installed directly at Steve's place...
