INSTALLING HEADERS AND THE WORD EASY DO NOT BELONG ANYWHERE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER

i put L/T's on my car and well...... it was a bitch, the most stressful thing ive done to a car. Ive heard installing a set of shortys is a bit easier, but u will see why i said what i did at the begining. oh yeah and taking the heads off ive heard its a pain to, but thats just what ive heard.

I had to remove my k-member and all of that and it wasnt easy or fun. just make sure u have a lift, cause doing it without one will make suicide run through ur mind a few times. But a set of headers and O/R pipes do sound fine if u ask me.
