wire tuck=pain in the butt lol. Are you planning to move the battery to the trunk? You can pretty well move all the wires inside the fenders without cutting anything. Then of course you have to wire up the battery.

Just looked at that install for the headers by dropping the K-member. Is that the easiest way to change motor mounts too? Might want to take a good look at yours to make sure they dont need replacing!

I haven't heard to many mach 1s with longtube and borlas. Seems like a unicorn set up. Maybe 2 videos on YouTube..

Oh wow, I totally misread that post. You said you had them in, I was thinking IN THE CAR I didn't think about in the mail lol.

I have about 7 hours of time with a lift to have these installed.. Fingers crossed. I made a checklist with torque specs for all the suspension components that have to come off, as well as printed out instructions.

cpotts were you down at mustang week?

Major Update:

Here is the update for y'all. Headers are installed, but broke a tie rod and didn't realize till I went to re assemble everything. Took 1.5 to remove everything to get to the K member, then 4 hours to put the headers on, and 1.5 hours to reassemble. The install wasn't hard, just tedious.

TBH it sounds the same at idle and start up lol.. Revving sounds much louder.

I was shocked at how sluggish it was in the lower rpms. But it screams up top... It is loud as hell, but clean loud..

Here is the clearance for those who where wondering.

I was surprised when I did mine how much it slowed down in the bottom as well.

Sounds amazing. I've always been a huge fan of Borlas on 4vs. I feel like its the most top notch in terms or quality and sound for those cars.
