[QUOTE="Kris, post: 673633, member: 10928"] Well, it didn't work out as I had hoped for. We had to jack the engine up a lot to get the old long tubes out. We also had to removed the steering shaft. But that was easy, one bolt and it had been removed previously because it had fresh grease. The new long tubes fit in with ease. The biggest thing that sucked was individual flanges. Suck badly. Most fit into place but the ones that didn't were a pain to get. So the longtubes are now in. Here comes the bad news. We fot my bbk offroad x pipe up, and it fit fine except, the drivers side that connects to the header is almost 2" too short the the spread is also about 2" close. So, I gotta take the x pipe to and exhaust shop and see if they can rework it for me. For the time being it has an offroad h pipe on the car and I hate it. The spund sucks and its too quiet. Plus, my car hates it. It won't hold an idle. The idle surges worse with this setup than it did with the fox bbk long tunes and bbk x pipe. Only thing I can think of is the h pipe on the car now has my buddies O2 sensors on and and they may be bad but they are in wayyy nicer condition than the ones I had and were using. But, the clutch fork no longer rubs or hangs up and it has me smiling now. [/QUOTE]
