Default Hey WMC! Need some advice!

Well, I took Don's advice last year and made the yellow car a little louder. Got some Corsa Pace Cars put on at Carlisle. To that I added a set of Kook's headers. Problem is, the headers are still sitting in my garage waiting to be put on.

Anybody know of anyone locally that can put 'em on for me? I ain't got the time, garage or talent to do it. Who do you know?

TIA

It depends on when you decide to do the install; if I'm not working I'll help too.

Dang! You guys all rock! And here I was hoping just to get some info! Since everybody seems to want to get in on this, I'll get with Don and work something out. And I'll definitely be buying the beverages!

Thanks to Don, who has been very generous with his offer of garage use. Don, you're a stand-up dude and a reason why the Vette family is so great!!

I'm gonna try one suggestion for a pro installer. The Kook's sound like they're a pain to get on, so I don't wanna give anybody bloody knuckles and heartburn unless I'm paying them. I'm gonna owe everybody a beer for all their offers of help, though!

We did my LG long tubes in my garage and with the crew there I don't think I turn a wrench but twice. I would really consider doing it at Don's. Save your money from paying someone and then you can buy more go fast parts

These are much more involved Larry, yes we can do it but it would take a bit longer. With everyones help we should still be able to knock them out in a day.

Tim if you change your mind we are here for you and can save you some $$$ but if you have them done where you are thinking might as well have it tuned at the same time. You will get the most out of your headers that way. If you want to talk about it come to Culvers tomorrow and we can brainstorm it.
Kooks instructions found here.

Shawn recently announce that I've been "Corvette Certified" after we couldnt figure out any part of my car that has not been entirely disassembled. So, apparently I'm qualified...


If I weren't in the middle of doing brakes, with the heads still off of Evan's car in the next stall, I'd say bring it over right now.

FYI:

Just put my XSPower LTs on Friday. Totaled 5.5 hours on jackstands with 1.5 hours of that being devoted to trying to figure out which wires went where on the starter because I forgot to mark them. Oops!
