Guys, I need a hand..
 

ok. Tomorrow my Pacesetter LTs and ORY should be showing up (UPS online says so). As most of you know i only have one usable hand right now and i need to get these put on. I was planning on waiting until my hand was better (about 8-10 weeks more) and doing it myself. Problem is that my car is going to the a shop for work and a tune and I NEED these headers installed before then. Now, under normal cicumstances id pay a shop but due to my hand being the way it is i havent been to work in 3 weeks and im flat broke for the time being.

All in all, im asking for a favor. im hoping somebody or a few guys could help me out. of course, id lend my one good hand since i DO actually wanna be involved in this.

STIPULATIONS...
* I cant drive too far sicne driving is extremely difficult wiht my hand like this
*Has to be done sometime this weekend or next week
*I have no work or school currently so im free anytime
* Possible to have a small get-together at my house, ill buy beer and snacks and we could chill while we do this.
*** if need be, ill drive to you but thats a last resort***
* I have no jackstands or a jack since everything i own is in the Trans am in Long Island.


Thanks,
-Adam

P.s. THis is for the 01 SS for those that dont kno

i could help a bit. only did headers on a lightening tho. lemmie no if u want me to help j3w

I have stands and a jack. I might be able to lend a hand. Good luck. Hope some one(or more) can step up.

i'd be there in a heartbeat, as i believe in the "help a brother out" program with cars. it's a circle, and eventually it will be your turn to get help. however, piscataway is out of the question as far as driving for me. my back would lock up before i got there and then i'd be no help to anyone other than handing wrenches/sockets/tools to those working on the car.

let me know if the gig moves a little closer to me (toms river area).

wayfast... hit me up onlione later, if at all possible can i borrow the jack/jackstands? ill pick them up and drop em off..

Very very possible.

if i had legs id help out...but i kinda dont atm

"we could just put u on a creeper and roll u around" -- j3w's response

wayfast how tall are your jackstands, because to do headers and a ypipe you will need the car about 3 feet off the ground

you will also want to have:
sawzall
full metric socket and box wrench set
some prybars to make tight areas a litle wider after the headers are in
air tools would be a huge help with the exhaust

you also may want to do plugs and wires while the manifolds are off

?????


and jackstands/jack are covered. andrews got em for me. He's gonna be a pal and dropem off later :)

for those PITA bolts haha

And to separate your stock y-pipe from the exhaust. I'd also have a filter & oil aside just in case.

well, my buddy mikes whos helping me has a sawzall, ill tell him to bring it, if for watever reason we need it. He has an impact gun too so that might come in handy. I sprayed all the bolts this evening with pb blaster so maybe thatll help a bit...

any other tips?

isnt it all bolts? why would i need to cut that?

and pepboys is only a few blocks from my house so ill get that if need be

your gonna have to cut it if you dont get the car high enough to wiggle the y-pipe out....i had mine ABOUT 3 and a half feet up in the air, and didnt have to cut,

you also may have to cut the intermediate pipe on the catback because the ory is probably longer than the stock y

dammit.. every write up i read about pacesetters didnt mention that.. im hoping i wont have to

i did, but i have the old style pacesetters.

i would come up and help out, but i work weekends, if it turns into somthing that has to get done on a monday-wednesday morning, pm me.

you DEFINATLY want to do plugs while the manifolds are out of the way unless they have been done recently. and you might as well do oil, fuelfilter and etc maintnence while its in the air

I may have some time to give a hand/lend some tools. When is this going down and PM me with your address. If your in piscataway I'm really close.
