Got it all wrapped up today. The shorties actually make a difference in sound!

Any seat of the pants difference?

Anything has got to be better than factory manifolds. Have any plans for a tune?

Only drove it from the shop home and my dad was with me so I couldn't get on it. I'm not going to drive it any until I refill the rear end dope and re-silicone the diff cover. I already have the rear end dope I need and the silicone I just don't have the additive needed for the positraction unit. I will let you know though! In my Tahoe it helped with gas mileage too.

They're only shorties so they won't do much even with a tune but yes I am planning on getting one eventually. Probably gonna go with a custom dyno tune or one from @BlackBearPerf

Just got the pictures off my phone. Here is the damage to the wheel...

And the headers in the engine bay...

God I love the look of broken in stainless steel headers

*Liked for headers, then un-liked for wheel damage.

Need to invest in a couple cans of degreaser! And a pressure washer!

Heads look good tho I like that the factory plug wires work. Cant say the same for either set of my longtubes.

Same here. Had to get Taylors with the short boots, 10mm of course.

Still rocking stock radio and going without my subs, apparently you need an adapter for the factory Bose system to be able to put in an aftermarket headunit and subs? Can someone please clarify if that's true or not? If it is then I'm gonna have to wait to install my head unit and subs.

Yes you need a harness adapter to keep the warning chimes and steering wheel controls. PAC makes one as well as AXCESS. I’ve used both but prefer the one from PAC because it retains sound from the rear entertainment DVD

Mine does have the dvd player so I'll need to do that. Do you have a link for the PAC one?

Well it's 240k miles so I would expect it to be pretty greasy
