Talking Not much longer

16 excrutiating rusted bolts and alot of swear words, and ive got exhaust manifolds off my car. Beleive it or not the drivers side was actually easier to get than the passengers, easier to pull to losen the bolts.

I dropped my exhaust system to the floor first, and slid that out from under the car. Then i took my time removing all the exhaust manifold bolts and pulled those heavy suckers out. Now my cars just waiting for the headers to be put in (hooker comp.), which will be delayed untill sunday, because i have work the next 2 nights.

They seem like they will slip in quite nicely. Cant wait to fire it up . I think i will have sufficient clearance from the #5 pipe to the power steering pump hose, so i wont have to buy a 90 degree end for the hose. thats a plus lol. Well just thought id tell ya all what ive been up to. Next week i should be finding a time to take my car in and get the new exhaust system put in from reducers back. its gunna sounds nice . ill take pics too.
