Spring is here time for headers.
I have been sitting on my cattman headers since Oct. Now that spring is here they are going on wednesday. I have the greddy and hope I can deal with it. I won't be able to do a berfore dyno but will be able to do a after. But I do have a previous dyno of 185 HP.

i believe i remember seeing your last dyno was in 2nd gear, the reason your torque was low. you may want to do a run to compare to that but try to get them to dyno in 3rd. just put o/d off and have them run it to 65 or so and hit it from there. that would be the best way to compare to other 5th gen 3.0s. i am sure you will enjoy them and get ready for a significant increase over the y pipe.

All i gotta say is get ready for a long install. It isn't a technical install by any means, but just frustrating working in real tight spaces. Remember, think small!

Having a performance shop do it. I have given them all the info from all others here to help. He says he can do it in 4 hours even thought his service manual says 10 hours. When I disscussed it he quoted me $250. We'll see after it's done.

There on and with the greddy it don't sound that bad to me. Total cost to install $340.00 and he worked on it since this morning just got it now. It's raining here so I can't get anything as of right now but just wait a couple days.

ha sounds like he underestimated the job.
i sware when i say this is a hard install without a lift it sux. I have installed all of my mods(sometimes not successfully
) and this made everything else seem as routine as scratching your nuts

Damn, I did mine in less than 2 hours with other things like oil change 
Probably the most frustrating thing for you 00 people is the EGR valve. My shop allows me to work on my own car after we close for bussiness- 5PM, I was driving home at 7:45 after washing up and putting all the tools away I will do headers for 250 all day long on 3.0Ls without an EGR valve- thats 2001s only :P

I didnt lie It was supper EZ to do on a lift :P I still have no AC thou, I hope to regain that comforting feature of my car sometime this week before the heat wave hits us. I'm doing a set of headers on a 02 6spd next, after my boy hears how the Cattman exhaust sounds with HS headers- since hes got a Cattman exhaust on his. I don't expect any troubles with it
