I did it! Impulse decision to get MAC 1 5/8" longtube headers with MAC offroad h-pipe!
(impulse caused me to buy my car!!)

So, from what I've researched, I might have to deal with the following if I try to install them myself:

1) get longer o2 wires (sensors themselves look fairly new)
2) deal with steering column in the way
3) h-pipe fit (probably not since its MAC?)
4) individual fit with exhaust ports
5) grind out the material near the enterance of the header?
6) clutch wire getting in the way and possibly melting..

Is there anything else that I should look out for?? (you guys who've already done longtubes, anything else? OR, should I just get the shop to do it?)

My car is a 94 5.0 with stock unported heads just in case it matters..

Thanks for the help and input!
