Default Don't do this when installing headers...

The TPIS heades went in sweet with no problems. The Magna Flow X pipe was a nightmare with a poorly jigged flange weld.

But another big nightmare was something we did. When removing the A.I.R. tube or the PVC lines we un did the very small vaccum line for the HVAC regulator. The service manuals say to replace the HVAC vac line you need to remove the intake manifold. well at midnight we weren't gonna do that so we fooled around with it for 2 hours (midnight to 2 am) after everything else was done and got it back in place.

becareful when removing the A.I.R. tubes or the pvc lines!!!!
