give me a walkthrough for longtubes

[TxCobrA98]

wow.. thats going to suck.

 

[realitygt]

yeah it is. idk how much it is exactly :dunno:

but I'm gonna lower my car in the next year, luckily we don't have any speedbumps in missouri.

 

[SRT Handz]

I'm guessing 2 or 3 inches

HAHAHAH yeah Right....2-3 Inches IN HIS DREAMS!!!

With my UPR X on sportlines i have NO I Clearance... i am less than a 1 1/2 inches off the ground

here is the walk through I used couple years ago. worked perfectly and you shouldn't have too much a prob since you have a gt. the damn heads on the cobra make it such a pain in the ass.

Well... wish really hard on the next shooting star you see, and if you are a good boy, the header fairy will come do it for you :rollinglaugh:

Again, the K HAS to come down, or the motor HAS to go up. Neither have to come out, but they need to move a few inches at least.

BTW, I never, ever drug my headers anywhere with H&R SS's, no isos. I did ding the mid-pipe clamp all the time, but never once touched the header's or collectors.

 

[realitygt]

alright well the guy on stlmustangs fell through because he felt the metal was too soft and wouldn't feel comfortable selling them.

yeah I'm waiting for the header fairy to come :rollinglaugh:



so I'm on the look again for some lt's for the stang. I posted a wtb ad in the classifieds for all the exhausts I want also. If anyone has a slightly used mac catback or american thunder catback... pm me or if no one has lt's then I'll probably just do a bassani o/r x so I'll take one of those too lol (pm me)

people really do long tubes? :rollinglaugh:

:dunno: I've never seen the install, most people just leave their longtubes under their pillow and while their sleeping the header fairy comes and puts them in.

You don't really beleive in the header fairy do you? I'm sorry if I ruined your concept of reality.

judd, how much clearance do you have with your LT's? what brand LT's and springs or inch drop do you have?

not much, but I dont daily drive the car. I have the eiback sportlines I believe, wouldnt be as bad if I would just put some new isos in the front. it is a pain in the ass with how low it is but damn the longtubes flow and sound good. oh and you are crazy as hell if you dont just drop the k. It really isn't that hard to do and will only take a few hours to do. drop it, and lower the engine as much as you can. just follow the write up and you will be ok. I had never done anything like this before and I really had no issues minus getting to two studs on the pass side. the mod motors are a bitch with there big ass heads being so tight up against the frame rail.

Good thing those headers fell through. I don't like the way they looked. Looked like somebody did a weld job on the one header.

I am ging to do my long tubes the easy way. I am going to pay somebody to do it. I have said this before and I will say it again. Some things I just don't want to screw with, and headers are one of them.

I thought the same thing about the weld job, I was going to look at them first before I bought them lol

right now I'm looking at a pair of bbk ceramic long tubes that were used on a magazine engine build up and never ran in a car, only maybe 6 times on the dyno he says.

only imperfection on them at all

 

[realitygt]

does $320 sound like a good price for those? with o2 extender NIB?

Um, what about that HUGE dent on the #2 primary of the driver's side header? That does not look right.

 

[ScottyDsntKnow]

As for the LT install on the modulars. Yeah you've got to either jack the motor up or drop the K.

I would seriously just pay someone to do it on a modular, that thing is a monstrosity.

it is suppose to be there, so the steering shaft can clear.

 

[ScottyDsntKnow]

Really... Uh, that still looks like someone took a big hammer to it.
