I can't help you with the install, but make sure you get some dyno numbers after you get it done. I want to see how much more hp/tq they give with a blower. Good luck, Kent.

 

yeah for sure gonna have the flex fans in soon let you know how things work out hoping for some big gains with the headers anyone have any ideas on how much i'll gain with my setup ?running at 8#'s of boost now

You should have gotten bolts. They are pretty straight forward. Get a reciprcatig saw or (swazall) to cut 1/4" in front of the cats. Then remove the stock manifold. I had trouble breaking the bolts on the stock collector, so I just took it out as one peice. The last bolt on the driverside near the firewall is a pain in the ***, so be prepared for that. Other than that, the directions pretty much cover it. Don't be suprised if the don't exacly line up to the cats. I had to have my Y pipe adjusted a little, but since they had to weld the flanges on I wanted no stress on the headers, so I had it heated and bent to the right spot.

Cut the tab on the steering knuckle shaft off before you finsh or it might knick the ceramic off the header. Once you get the header in place you will know what I'm talking about.

Can't be any worst that S-10 headers. Those are a pain. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

 

OK so here is where i'm at with these asm headers ...pulled off the factory manifolds pass side ..unbolted the supercharger drivers side got the manifold out ..cut 1/4 from the cat's both sides ..Got the headers in the dirvers side in no problem put the Procharger back in

NOW WTF is with the passenger side being SO hard to get in i can't squeeze the header in for some reason am i missin something ??????
damn things were going pretty quik too 4 hours so far

 

That's strange, my passenger side was the easy one. I can't think of what it could be. Is it hitting on something? I did have to move a few things, but managed to squeeze it in.

well damn there in now geez that was a pain in the *** i think cat moved forward somehow when i got the y pipe cut i ended up cuttin the cat out for now until i get it the muffler shop for some welding
i fired it up DAMN it sounds CRAZY screw the exhaust open headers here i come
