Good luck with the install.

Best advice I can give... take your time. Rushing only makes it worse.

So where's the FAMOUS TRI Y DESIGN?!?!?!
Do they think we're sofa king we todd did???

So I waited for what?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????

Sorry for crapping on your thread man, BUT I am really glad you posted this.
I'm sure they're still nice headers, it's just Thorley told us they'd be different.

The main thing with the auto is you need to relocate the transfer case oil cooler because it is right where the pass-side header needs to run. You may also have to reroute the trans cable that runs to the throttle body.
