Those are beautiful pics... Hopefully I'll have a set of those on my car late this summer with my new engine, but I'll have to get somebody to buy my dual exhaust with shortys first... What mufflers are you using?

I used the downsized chevy starter so it would not be quite so likely to suffer with heat soak as their is a bit of room.
They rotate into position from under the car. I had to remove the oil filter, reroute the trans cooler lines and move the brake lines a little to get them away from the headers.
It took about 3 hours to do mine including removing the old Flowtech shorties. You may find you need to do some minor clearancing.

most places will not install then becuz it would take to long to install the headers.
