And on top of this shit that's coming in, came across some Speed Engineering headers on Facebook and picked those up for a fair price. Won't do much, but I figured why not? Should give the hoopty a little more sound, but not too much to be annoying.

How long?

Brand new?
I'd venture to say yes. Never installed, though they've been sitting for a bit.

How long?
They aren't long ones, basically just shorty replacements. Should bolt right up without having to modify the exhaust any. Gains are minimal, claim around 15 HP... figured it would only help since this Hoe is getting long in the tooth now-a-days.

I'm glad that I pulled this trigger. Some minor things still need work but the fit is awesome. Also need to reach out to the company about the headlights. Realized that they didnt send me smoked ones to match the turns... after I stepped back to look at the finished product. Oh well, I can fix that.

Grille will be altered to fill the gap next to the inside of the headlights. Tomorrow will be fixing the front fender flare.

So much work that's starting to take shape. My vision is slowly becoming a reality. Trying to do all the measurements without having things to actually mock up is fun. Thank you to everyone that took a random measurement for me.

@ArcticYukon my bad , we used the oem diffuser lens but swapped clear reflectors. I was thinking of another set I did right after. We did talk about using the crystal clear lens but I talked him out of it.

Damn... I was hoping you were gonna give me a hack to make that work.
