well first it took me quite a long time just to get everything unbolted and out from underneath the car. I had three rusted striped bolts that I had to take a hack saw to. that sucked. then I finally get to try to install my L/T's, but no way. I cannot get these damn things to install. I have the car lifted and I have the motor tilted, still no dice. I am now considering getting a tow truck and paying the shop to do it.

Its a 93 gt with auto. Any help would be great.

There are 2 different Part#'s for Mac LT's, did you get the correct one. I had to raise the car as high as possible, and use my engine hoist to raise the engine off of the pads by 4-5". They are definitely a PITA to install, but worth the horsepower and torque gain. The H-pipe is also specific to auto or stick.

Actually, Mac goes to great lengths to make sure their long tubes are equal length, which helps make more power, but also makes them harder to install.
