    I forgot to post this on here for my SRTC brethren:grin:.

    Finally got around to uploading my pics and video of the install. I installed them with a friend in the garage with nothing but a floorjack and 2 jackstands:eek:. We took our time and made sure everything went smooth. We didn't have to jack the motor up to get them on which saved some time but there definitely is NOT much room to work with up in there. I was wishing I had 3yo hands to reach up in those little crevices to tighten bolts:D. Finally at about 5am in the morning we finished up and proceeded to wake the neighborhood:p. These are 1 7/8" Kooks with offroad midpipes, no cats, straight pipe B&B with x-pipe and B&B resonators in the rear. Its LOUD:eek: Enjoy the pics and vid.

    Thanks, I should have gotten headers a long time ago. They sound so gnarly cruising around town...although the gf thinks otherwise:grin:

    I take it you did not fully back out the stock header bolts to remove the stock headers right? Makes sense that way your not fumbeling trying to get them back into the holes to bolt the LT on

    Yeah that would be a nightmare if you took them all the way out. You just loosen them a few turns and the stock manifolds slide up off the bolts then the headers slide right back down on them and you tighten them up.
