Those look awesome! I just ordered a cat back (finally!), now I'm debating on whether to get the ZZP downpipe, and a PLOG, or just go with the Speed Daddy's. I'm not exactly worried about the front header, or the crossover, but that back piece has got to be a pain!

How difficult was the install?

Lookin good, man!

The rear header was a pain to install, I installed it first .. Had to lower the frame cradle ..

Could you undo the front motor mounts and pull the whole engine foward?

Yes , I did that , but the rear header would not fit from the top , I had to install from the bottom..

Hows it sound? Any louder? I have been interested in these since I had my GP since they are cheap and seem to be worth the money.

so these headers fit on N/A cars as well right?i was planning on doing the powerlog with the downpipe, but now this came up. How much of a difference did it make for you jerry?on my scale(i only know how to do basic things on a car) of 1-10, whats your difficulty rating?you should make a tutorial bro(:

to everyone, is it worth it to just go with these headers?theyre so tempting, considering the price!I wouldnt mind adding some flashy chrome to the engine and making her a little bit quicker at that price!lol

I had a little difficulty installing the rear header , I had to lower the frame cradle.. The front header I rocked the engine to the rear or toward the fire wall. Iam an auto tech at USPS so it was not hard for me.. I have done glider kits on mack trucks , turbo's , trans, head's, rear end's , ect..

Unbolt the two rear bolts on the frame cradle and lowered it , had to jack it back up to install the bolts back in..
