Will Longtubes help or hurt me???

[Mike Wolking]

well i have installed more sets of headers than i would like to mention but i will say that the BBK's are a great fit and that your better off sticking to the directions on these. One side goes up from underneath and the other from above. Don't try any shortcuts cause they really won't work. One thing to add is DO NOT use the recommended gasket sealer crap that they want you to affix the gasket to the head. That just brings headaches later. I had to alter/bend my dipstick tube bracket to bolt down in conjunction with the lower center valve cover stud-there isn't much room next to the header tube were it bolted up originally. Now is also a good time to put on new motor mounts. Don"t waste your money with the Energy Suspension Polygraphites becasue there damn near solid mounts and they are exspensive. I recall disconnecting the steering shaft coupler for the installation but can't remember if it was in the directions. Run the car for about ten to twenty minutes the first time and then tighten the bolts and then do the same about a week later. Be sure to tighten the bolts at the collectors and at the back of the h pipe because those seat and loosen up as well
Good Luck-Mike
