Exhaust & Headers

[94 Pathy]

I'm sooo HAPPY! The 14th & 15th I will be installing my headers and the dual exhaust. After that, I need to have someone take a look at my torque converter/tranny to get everything running well for winter. Then the BL goes on once I can get a few guys to help. I've decided to keep the Pathy and move ahead. It's paid for and I know what's been done to it. Will take pic's and post once each step is done. Wish me luck, since all I've heard is the headers are a PITA!

Nice!

But, wouldn't it be better to do the exhaust after the body lift? So it can be tucked up further?... I dono, maybe I'm just wierd.

I was originally wanting to do the BL first, but can't get enough guys together at the same time to get it done with me. It's my everyday driver, so it needs to be done in a weekend no matter what. I'll keep you'll posted.

:sniff: :sniff:

Didn't get to get the headers on today like I wanted. My soon to be ex planned a b-day party for the youngest, which just turned three today. I needed to be here for him, so I postponed the install. Due to the postponing, I'm going to try to get the BL on first, then the headers/exhaust. With me moving next week, I will not have a garage anymore to do all my work in. :furious: Gotta love women, NOT! No offense to the females on the site, but I'm very bitter right now as you couldn't tell. Oh well, F'em! Once I get things straighten out and done, pic's will be taken.

Do the BL first, you'll have a TON more room to work with. It'll be a good thing.

Listen to what the other guys are saying. After I installed my body lift it free'd up a ton of room to work. After the lift you can remove your engine skirting and look right at the exhaust manifold, so position is much better. Also mentioned above you can tuck your exhaust better.

 

Installing the lift isnt hard at all. I installed mine by myself in 1/2 a day. Get all your tools together so your not playing "gopher" all day. Make sure you have some cinder blocks or large blocks of wood because your average jack wont get your body high enough to position the blocks.

 

Mine too was my daily driver when I installed the lift so getting it done right and fast what a huge priority for me. Just take it easy, read the instructions and youll be fine.

Is it not easier to do one side at a time? To keep the body aligned properly so you're not pushing it around trying to line up the body mounts.
