Just got back from the muffler shop. I finished putting NWO headers on last night and had it towed to the muffler shop where they welded on the rest of the exhaust & put on high flow muffler & cat. This was a tough, tough install and took me much longer than I originally expected, but I can already tell a difference. I deviated from the tech tutorial quite a bit and would love to help out anyone else who undertakes this project. Send me a pm.

As a side note, I have a cable (on driver's side) that is touching the header. The cable is heat wrapped, so I felt safe driving it home today, but plan on moving it tomorrow. How much clearance should I try to get between the header and the cable? I'm going to spend some time looking around at the other side also to make sure everything is a safe distance.

How much did the NWOR headers run ya?

stm

They ran all over me during parts of the install

ksti

Did you get rid of that Gomer Pyle crossover?

NickMiller

It actually took me a while to get what you meant... I must need to sleep! haha!

Seriously though, what did they cost?

ksti

I'm thinking he doesn't want to answer both questions.

NickMiller

Lol, I got the same feeling, but I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and ask again

stm

Yup. Got all the bolts off, but after trying to get it out, I just decided to cut off the pass side flange with a sawzall

ksti

By any chance did you take some pic's?

stm

I've a couple of before pics and happy to take any afters you have in mind. I'm sorry to say that I don't have any pics of cutting the crossover. At the time, my attitude was like "FOR ****'S SAKE, WHAT'S NEXT??", so when I cut the flange off I was more concerned with killing anything that stood in my way as opposed to helping others out.

What I do have is a video I recorded for a friend of mine so that he can hear the headers. Here's the link:
