installed headers
just installed the mac mids with catted y pipe this weekend. def not an easy job lol thats for sure. there is barely any room to work and everything was so close that i couldnt believe it actually fit. The directions on that website on how to install macs were not anywhere close either. they said to install them from the top but i tried for about a minute and it woulda never happened. they installed from the bottom but i had to cut and grind off those two tab things that stick out of the engine right below the spark plugs. once i got those off the headers went in kinda easy. still have a few adjustments to do because something very occasionally hits the bottom of the floorboard and has a slight rattle.

there are two tabs. one under the #7 cylinder exhaust port and one under the #6 port. they are about 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch high and stick out about 3/4 inch from the block and they were the obstacle preventing the headers from smoothly going up into place.

lol well hopefully they dont serve a purpose cause i had to cut them down by about a half inch. had to do it by hand with a mini hacksaw too since the sawzall wasnt working. took me forever. as i was cutting it off i was hoping i wouldnt hit anything important haha.
