Does anyone have pics of Doug Thorley or JBA shorty header install? I have seen pics of the install on a V6, but not one for a V8. Considering doing the install on my own, but would like to see what I am getting myself into.

Its cake to do, just undo your spark plug wires, and the exhaust manifolds. The passenger side you will have to remove the cat piece. The drivers side went down thru the top, the stock manifold also comes out thru the top. (JBA Shortys)

Passenger side you have to do from the bottom. Holding it up there and starting a bolt was the biggest pain. It would be the only time you would need some help. I did it alone, but the language was pretty bad for that part of install.

The instruction says you have to undo a part of the steering, but I got it in there without messing with it.

I ordered high flow cats, so i removed them. Which gave me a lot more room, but after you unbolt them they will sag a little out of your way. there is 2 bolts/clamp that hold on to the exhaust. You could take them off and the O2 sensor connectors and pull them out of your way. I think you will have to for the passenger side.

It sounds worse than it is, it took me about 3 hours. You can PM me if you need help.

There actually is a REALLY good video someone did in the DIY section for JBA shorty header install. You should be able to search for it, I'll try to find it.

Here is that thread, it is for a 2LT/RS http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134161 . It's a V6 but it should be a fairly good guide I would think.
