Headers are ON!
I finally got a chance to "wrench" on my car, something I've wanted to do for a long time. With the help of one of my vette "big brothers" I put headers and an x-pipe on my car. It took the two of us almost all day Sunday and I had a great time doing the install.
They sound great!!
Here's what I put on the car:
Here I am aligning the headers to the engine:
Finished!
Now I just gotta figure out what I want to do next.

Get it tuned. Are those American Racing headers? Good job on the install. Put a set on mine the end of January, great mod.

Time to get a self-contained blower!
They look very similar to the ARH headers I installed a few months back.
