Default LT Header install questions...

I believe they are TPIS. Do they go in from the top or bottom? What needs to be removed/moved to get them toslide in? Any gotachas? Will probably be swapping an entire exhaust system.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Tony

Another question...my friends car is a 98 and mine's a 01. What's the difference in the exhaust system.

Just had mine installed by Nate at Xtreme and it was not an easy job. :crazy: They slid them in through the top but had to remove the valve covers on both sides to get them on. :cuss Then, since I have a 2000 with the cats at the front there was a lot of cutting and welding, and re-cutting and welding. :( I got the X-pipe also which gave me a little more to play with. All in all it took a good 5-6 hours total to get the job completed. It was worth it in the end though. Not sure if the 2001 has the cats toward the back or not. Good luck with yours. :cheers:

We are planning on just swapping my stock exhaust of my 2001 for his setup of his 98. So the "cutting and pasting" shouldn't be necessary. Thanks for the info...I figured it would be 5-6 hours.
