Just ordered the cattman headers and catback. Cant wait! I'm hoping for a good sound nothing too loud and the extra horsepower.

 

you ever heard cesars.....you shuold hear his sounds really amazing IMO...you should be very happy from what ive read and heard...

 

yeah I tried hearing on his site but it wont go through. But all I hear are good things about those headers, so I went for it.

 

nice..i think its gona be really loud though. i have the cattman y pipe and catback..just gets really annoying on the highway..yea..they do give lots of power..i should of got those instead cuz i have 2 pre-cats on my car =/ ..could of eliminate the one on the exhaust manifold...and also it won't pass pass emissions in nj

 

good luck you punk, me<you

 

thats awesome...i have the cattman headers and next im gonna get their catback too...where did u order from? can u send link? and can u put up sound clips or watever when u get them installed? thanks.

 

I ordered them from cattman.com but also check out southwestbodyworks.com. Its free shipping but the prices are a little higher.I did the calculations,Ive could have saved about $50 bucks

 

Enjoy... have fun installing those headers, its going to be a pain

 

take some pics

 

You've never done it have you? People made it seem like they are a ***** to install and I will have to disagree. If there is a write up anywhere saying that you need to unbolt the engine mounts and raise the engine, don't believe it cause you DON'T.

 

I know you dont have to unbolt the engine mounts.. actually I didnt think of raising or lowering the engine to do so. But I would imagine you'd have to take off the entire intake manifold to reach some of the rear manifold bolts which is another pain. The front manifold is nothing.

 

how much do u think it would cost to get sumone to install the headers for u??

 

The front header is easy. I would describe the rear as being tedious rather than difficult. The total job took me about 6 hours.

You can make it harder on yourself by cutting corners. I found it helped greatly to remove the engine cradle and rear engine mount bracket, just to get some room to work in. Same thing with removing the steering box cover. It would have helped even more to remove the intake manifold so as to be able to get at the upper header nuts and the heat shield from above. I think I30tMikeD was able to do the job by just removing the IM.

 

We were able to do the job in about 7 hours without removing anything but the IM. Most of the bolts were accessible on the rear from the top.

Hardest part in the rear was getting the heat shield out...but of course removing the cross member would have made that easier.

 

Are your stock exhaust manifolds in good condition. Do you wanna sell the front one? PM me

 

I got a estimate for 400 to install headers and the cat back

 

That sounds like a normal price. Thats what most places will charge

 

Wow...I'm glad some friends and I tackled the job ourselves.

 

360-400 for header install, all depending on hourly rate/time to install

 

hey Ceasar, u got the cattman setup right, how is the sound? loud, deep tone....

 

.....geeee...wish I had some money to do that...maybe I shouldnt have spent it all on getting my car to actually go
