Holy **** man 11 hours constant work, and with a lift, i installed my gutted stock manifolds, dude i have so many busted knuckles and scraped hands, i do not ever want to that again, no way in hell will i ever do that LOL. But on a plus side i love it, the car seems to pull past 5k now the drop off isnt as severe as it was and i still kept the main cat, i have not thrown a cel yet.
i took off the upper plenum, it actually wasnt that bad (taking the plenum off that is) and im glad that i did it made things go alot faster i probably wouldnt have finished by the time the shop closed if i didnt
i got some nasty gashes but in the end it was worth it for me, hopefully i will be dyoning at the end of the month, intake/gutted/exhaust
**** this **** lol i dont wanna do that ever again hahah
some key notes
that sepentine belt is a *****
so is that top bolt in the alternator
turning the bolts 1/16th at a time is really annoying
the power drop off isnt as severe now though after 5k and the exhaust note, damn i love it
and it looks all perfectly stock lol damit now i have the CEL Though thats next on my list to fix
