I got the sameones on my 98 auto. I love them. The install was super easy on drivers side i had to remove valve cover to get them to fit. I have heard horror stories on long tube install. From cutting oil pan and lifting engine.

Here is my dyno tune. I have a modify airbox, bypass muffler and xpipe.

Any idea what the bolt sizes are? I bought some used without the bolts. I believe they’re 3/8-16 but can’t find a bolt that will clear the pipes when threading from the top.

Did you guys thread the bolts bolts from the bottom (h pipe) to the top (header flange)?
