Any tips on the header install..I'm about to try to do mine
Thx

Just take your time and pay close attention to the areas your working in. The biggest pain to me was disconnecting the front o2 sensor connections that are on the back of the block. Everything else went fairly smooth.

I really like the color of your car by the way.

Yes those clips suck. Out of the 4-5 hrs I probably spent 30+ mins on the clips

Haha I recently did my headers and I was so pissed because that one part took me longer than it should have. I was cursing the air asking who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to put those things there. If I can offer any advice make sure you zip tie the sensors after you put the extensions. I didn't do that to mine and they made contact with the headers and melted a little.

Drove it on a small endurance run from Riverside, to Oceanside, to Downtown LA, to Pasadena, then Riverside again - just for some cruising fun. Love the ride!

yeah I know what yo mean. I replaced my stock suitcase mufflers with magnaflows and quad tips along with the ZL1 diffuser after my headers were installed. I like the sound and look!

It is pretty straight forward, like stated plugs and connections are a PIA. IMO, the passenger side rear plugs were the hardest because of the angle and limited space but by no means hard. Also, getting the car high enough off the ground to slip the headers up and through were an issue. Other than that its cake, just double check them header gaskets to make sure they are seated properly and you good to go man! Keep us updated!
