Default my exhaust is finally on (56k warning)

So thursday night i finally was able to take my exhause apart and put my headers on. I started at 3:30a.m. and finished around 12:30p.m. working all night long. Had to be quite cause I didnt want to wake my neighbors so that didnt help too. Was trying to finish fast enough to get the truck to the exhaust shop in Deer Park. I live on the SW side of Houston. Got to drive there with just headers and I didnt get a ticket. Passed up one cop on the freeway, but i coasted by so I got lucky. Reason it took my so long was I did all of this by myself while lacking all the tools. 7 extensions total were used at one point. Took about 45min to get the last cat bolt off cause the universal joint didn't like the angle. Then took awhile to get the headers on while holding the gasket at the same time. Finally took a screw driver to hold one side in the hole while getting the bolt started.
Sry for the long rant but this is my first mod ever and I did it all by myself
Heres some pics, vids of just headers and then the exhaust


I took the front tires off just to make it easier and boy it sure did help


Tires in my living room. Yes thats a wet tile saw right there
