ok first of wtb new finger skin and maybe some arm skin too..
started this install at 4 oclock and it was 11 whenit was all said and done
product purchased:
jba longtubes from americanmuscle
jba mid piped with high flow cats from american muscle
and 1 pair of 02 extenders ( by two pair or you will be SOL)
ride up ramps and some 2X4 to aid int the "ride up"
first i did the passenger side cause i thought its all i would get done well that took 3 hours very straight forward.. the direction from JBA worked well but i found out taking the motor mount completely out made things a million times easier..
now for the driverside
firs off remove that motor mount or you are going to hate life and want to punch babies...leave the Passenger side one loose ( leave like 3 threads on the top nut) and jack up on your tranny do not do it on the oil pan or i will fly to your house and slap you with a wet towel in the face because this engine is heavy and will squish fast.
when you see where it says lossen the steering rack ...ignore i went through 2 breakbars on these damn nuts and its to remove the steering column shaft from the gear box with some patient and a slight pry toward the front bumper you can angle it out easier than breaking all your tools. header went in so did the gasket the tightened down. O and you must swith the dipstick tube from behind the manifold to the front. very straight forward.
for fun i fired it up with open headers and was actually scared it sounded like a nascar ride on crack. then i did the h pipe yet again straight forward but still am not sure of these O2 holes point up or down i did them up and the O2 sensors straddle the drive line i will probally plug these holes any way in the near (dyno tune) future
sounds great needs a better tune but it will put around for now while the procharger is shipping.
anybody else doing longtubes if so and have questions PM i can get on the phone with you and give you a better run down or if in SC area gimme directions and i can help you out
happy tuning Boston
