Looks awesome Steve, no cutouts?? Time to get a re-tune and hit up irwindale! Would you recommend me to use the stock gaskets?? Thanx

I also ordered my LT's and cutouts, can't wait to get them on!

 

nice job. looks like a clean install. sweet

 

Thanks bud. No, no cut-outs. I was thinking about one, but decided it wasn't worth it. Plus I didn't have the cash for it. Talked to Justin, and he told me a re-tune wasn't worth the cost of shipping for the PCM. He has a set of Bassani's on his SSS and he said the adjustments are very minor. I'm going o get a set of 3.73's or 3.90's and probably have him make the adjustments then. Unless he does a tuning day somewhere closer than Sandy Eggo.

I re-used the stock gaskets and bolts with no problems. The stock gaskets are a multi-layer steel gasket, as long as they aren't damaged go ahead and use them. I took a scotch brite pad and cleaned any rust or carbon off of them first. i used a wire brush on the bolts before putting them back in. I would us the original hardware rather than what comes with the headers. My friend Adam's Pacesetters came with grade 5 bolts, stockers are 8.8's.

 

Thanks man.

 

To clarify the Bassani header hardware is nice 12 point quality bolts. I've had them off and on a few times with no issues, leaks or broken bolts. The Bassani's are a premium piece.

 

That's some slick work Steve-o. I love how clean the work to the headers was.

I loved those headers when I ran them on BRT.

 

Never saw the Bassani hardware, headers didn't come with them. I was talking about the Pacesetter stuff that a friend's headers came with.

Thanks! My buddy Christian did the welding and he did a great job. He's building a Baja bug with a full cage and custom suspension and light bars. So I knew he could weld better than I could. I had to cut up the adapters pretty good just to make them work, but it was worth it

 

Update. Paint on the headers still lookin' good.

 

Nice work! Way to go the extra mile and make them top notch.

 

Thanks man. Gotta keep it clean
