D@m, look what fell off my SS!
 

I noticed there was a loose bolt and all of the sudden this stuff fell off the car!;-)

and then some headers miraculously jumped into the open space, right? :D

dude thats terrible. hope you get everything fixed right away.

i know i know im not that dumb. whats going on there anyways?

hope so :lol:

it's either headers or a huffer.

don't ya jsut hate when that happens? lol
which pipes did you get jeff? slp's?

Nope, Pacesetter longtubes. The price was too good to pass up and since I just passed inspection I figured this was the best time to install headers. I'm glad I waited for the weather to get real cold too!:rolleyes:

They look good now...give them until Jan 1st i bet they have surface rust all over the collector lol...but yeah you couldnt have picked a better weekend to tackle this project lol

Beautifull!

might as well change plugs and wires while the manifolds are off

let me know how those pacestters work out...im looking into getting them for my car...

same here

looks nice bro, im gonna get headers soon or later...

sweet. while you are at it !cat woudl be a good mod. jsut drop a bullet muffler in there so it ain't too loud.

Jan 1st, I don't even have a y-pipe for it yet! I just bought the headers while they were still at a great price. I still need to remove the rest of the cat y-pipe before I can install the headers. But the old stuff is off and out of the way. Anybody have thoughts on the best gaskets to use? I forget which brand I used on the 68 but they held up good. I'll eventually go with dual cats on the y-pipe but I'll just run an off-road y-pipe to get it back on the road. Man, it's so much fun working on a car this time of the year!:cold:

Tell me about it :roll: Knuckle-smashing bolts are 5x worse!

That's the best thing from last night and today, no smashed knuckles, no lost skin and no lost blood! I almost had the ratchet fall on my head a couple of times but I was able to react fast enough to avoid it. I will say that the electric impact gun is a big bonus to have. It's a little too big and I had to jack the car higher a few times but for some of those rusted and stubborn bolts/nuts it's a knuckle saver.

well the last header swap that i did(my 98Z) i started on the last day of december & completed Jan 1 hehe and I dont have a cozy garage to work in so I know how it is.

I'll have to wait until there's foursome ready to tee off on the 11th hole across the street so I can fire it up with open headers!:mrgreen:

thats what I like to hear! :twisted:

Cats and no muffler is the way to go. eaisly the best sounding and doesnt hinder peformance too much.

Cool!

D@m, I just tweaked my back shoveling snow so I won't be doing any more work on the header install today.

Headers were one of the better mods I did to the SS :)
