welp they came in today from texas speed glad i live somewhat close and shipping was only 2 days.

ok guys a few questions for you ..
1. the front 02's do they have to be extended or will the stock length reach the header location
2. also for those of you that had did away with your EGR valve what did you use to plug the hole in the intake.


hopefully i can get it done in a decent time frame and get the exhaust welded back up and get it on the dyno monday or tuesday. and see just how much see gains on the lil 4.8L

now onto the pics

 

as the install goes i will be taking pics and trying to document every thing so stay tuned through out the weekend

 

damn those look sweet. and the first thing you did eas stick them in the corner. i bet they pay you back for that.,

 

What kind of header bolts are those? How much? Do you really think they are necessary over reusing the stockers?

 

those are just stage 8 locking bolt nothing special

i got them here locally in tulsa for $40.14 total tax and all



thats just the corner of the porch for the pics

its allready paying me back cant get the y-pipe off so off to my fathers shop and im getting the cutting torch and i will fix that

 

i hate all you 2wd punks LMAO...

they dont like us 4x4 guys for some reason.. i want a set, but dunno if they will fit the 4x4's yet damnit

 

On my 98 camaro I used an expandable freeze plug from advance auto parts (or any parts store). Put it in, turn the wrench and it is plugged. Works like a champ.

 

sweet do you know about what size to begin looking for

 

welp drivers side is done and complete

i would highly sugggest that you remove the coil packs VC's, plugs and drop the header in from the top. i couldnt get it to go from the bottom at all this was me and the truck attempting it from the bottom





heres the VC back on as you can see i have had them powdercoated for several months now



and now shes all bolted back up and ready for the passanger side



started removing all the crap from the passanger side got everything unbolted until i couldnt get the manifold and convertor ( couldnt get the bolts loose so i just cut the y-pipe ) out from under the truck ( wasnt jacked high enough and didnt wanna go any higher) so tomm morn i will break out the cutting wheel and get it outta there and hopefully everythign will go smooth and i can make it to the muffler shop before its to late

 

Looks pretty! Report back on your results!!!!
