Header install questions

lilspanky9119 · October 18th, 2010, 12:24 PM

Hey guys Im getting a set of ceramic BBK LT's and do not want to spend a few hundred getting them installed, Im not to familiar with this installation and im having some problems finding a good write up for this. If anyone has a good link that walks you through this process could you please provide it for me, or if you have any good tips that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Drop the K member and it's a snap. Leave it up and your in for a very very hard time.

yep. the whole engine cradle has to come down while you support the engine. if i were to do it all over again (pacesetter lt's here) i wouldve gladly paid someone else to do it.

You may need to get new motor mounts as well I just finished installing some headers, and the passengers side has very little clearance. On my car it was impossible with the stock mounts. You will love the way it sounds though.

Cool, I want a more aggressive idle, I know cams provide most of the sound, but I know the LT's wont hurt. After the headers I am getting a set of custom grind cams from modular head shop in Orlando, hopefully then I will have the desired idle I am looking for.

( going to take a long time to save for the cam's and install, I am letting a guy I know who runs a garage install them )
