So the wire didn't hit the firewall.

That rear header is the only thing that will be somewhat of a pain. But I highly highly recommend you to buy a thexton 419x tool to help you rock the engine forward that will save you the trouble. My front header was nose to nose with my fan but no need to dent the firewall, at least I didn't have to. You'll just have to play with the flex pipe a bit to get it to pull thru.
Make sure you buy an 02 extension and new gaskets cuz the ones that come with the headers aren't that great.
Install is VERY time consuming. Took me about 10 hrs but what held me up the most was all the rust I had to deal with. It's a pretty straight forward job tho otherwise. Good luck with the install I know you'll love them and keep us updated!

I am having a shop install them. Most shops wont even do that kind of job on the car. I had to call pacesetters which I just found out are made locally to find someone that will do it. My mechanic said he will but he don't sound too excited to do it haha. Ill have the headers here sometime this week and hopefully have them installed by the weekend. I am trying to find some qtp cutouts locally but no one carries them, the one shop I did find that carries them are out.

There was actually a guy on the azgmperformance forums that worked at pacesetter. He wrote up a detailed article about how they had fixed the y pipe issue where people were having problems getting them to seal because the pipe diameters were too different. They have since fixed it though, and he showed the new/old measurements.
As for the cutout, any particular reason you're trying to find a local shop to buy them from? Summit had a warehouse in Nevada and most stuff gets to me next day as long as it ships from that warehouse, and I'm a good bit south of phoenix.
