So I'm looking online for YouTube videos of installs with no luck. Anyone take pics or have pointers on installing shorty unequal lengths? Any advise is qppreciated. They should be coming UPS from LRS next week, so I got time to prepare!

I did mine while my engine was out but honestly the only problem I had was breaking a dipstick. There is an active thread very similar to yours but spray the manifold bolts with pb blaster, dont be suprised if atleast 1 collect stud breaks, and be careful with the dipstick!

Its super easy man... like the last response, spray the bolts and studs down with PB blaster and wait a half hour, then start wrenchin... Nothing else changes between aftermarket and original headers.

If you are super worried about the dip stick tube. Undo that bolt first and then pull the whole thing out of the oil pan.
