got all new parts, quick question.

DrHolliday · March 9th, 2007, 11:04 PM

I've had my '02 GT for a month now and ordered a bunch of parts based on the sticky on this forum.

I'm going to install them tomorrow and just wanted to ask if its a pain to install the shorty headers... I do have access to a lift so I'll have room to work.

Thanks in advance,
Doc

im not a mechanic but i know enough the headers should pretty much be straight unbolt and slide out shouldnt be hard seriously

Well they can be tough, the hardest part on shorties is getting the old bolts out! Good Luck what did you buy?

I heard what he heard and that bolting up the passenger side can ba a b*tch! I've never done it myself.

it is a bit of a task. You have to jack the motor up.

Thanks for the info, sounds like something I can handle. As for the parts I'm putting on...

K&N CAI
Summit 70 mm TB
Trick flow plenum
Summit U/D pulleys
BBK shorties
Diablo sport tuner

I already have the borla cat back system on it, just can't decide on a mid pipe...

Didn't get the long tubes b/c I'm keeping the stock mid pipe for now. I'm moving from Hawaii to North Carolina this summer and want to find out what the emision laws are before i get rid of the cats.

Good Idea, but you can still have cats with Long tubes.
