Levi,

Only if you are installing from the top, then you have to remove the alternator, coil paks, valve cover and oil filter. From the bottom, none of that is neccessarry.

How are ORP's while cruising, any added resonance?

How much oil did you lose removing hte filter? I'm gonna have to get another quart to replenish mine on Wednesday when install them.
I used about 1/4-1/3 quart, because I did not empty the filter.

Please, can someone give me a breakdown of the socket sizes and any additional tools required for the FLP install. I will travel about 1 hour for a lift and want to have all the available tools to expedite my install process. I will install from the bottom. What kind of header locking bolts would work with the FLP's? Thanks! :flag

If you're going from the bottom all you need is:
15 mm sockets
13 mm sockets
10 mm sockets for head bolts
7/8 wrench for O2 sensors
The headers come w/new bolts.
