Thanks.
100% bolt on. no cutting or welding just a matter of unbolting. I did the entire thing with a jack and 2 jack stands in my garage. The install on the SOLOs connecting to the header really requires two people.

If you're going to get a tune anyway, there's no reason not to get long tubes.
Sure, get the long tubes, but get cats, too. It warms up much slower than the stock cats, I know, but once it's warm, it cleans up all that toxic smelly smog coming out of your pipes, making you a kinder person for those who are following you in the traffic

Put these on (add to the SOLO extenders) and forgeddabot CELs or getting tunned if you don't want to http://www.bigdaddiesgarage.com/angl...FSZo7AodHwgAKQ

I installed SOLOs (already had Hedman shortys, CIA, PTB) and got Passengr side CEL ~100 mi/5 drive cycles (installed one of these and no more CEL); then got Driver side CEL ~1,000 mi/50 drive cycles (installed driver side one and no more CEL).

ps- with a tune you won't pass OBD2 emission inspection testing; with these you will

Fuse pull or not doesn't make a difference at idle as the NPP flaps are always open until 1000rpm
