Yes, we will have the bending capabilities to bend the header tubes as in few pieces as possible.

Good deal - with them being one big piece, will they be installable by a DIY'er who doens't have access to a lift?

Just figuring on what I need for an install budget...

Also, it's been reported the hardest bolts to pull are the HFC/OEM manifold bolts (tightness), next to that the manifold to block bolts (access) - did you experience anything similar to that or could comment on it? Did you remove the OEM parts in one piece?

I am very curious to hear the difference - lol...

I believe it will be quite hard without a lift, you also need quite some tools to reach in there (extensions etc..)

I wouldn't worry about header-cat connection so you'll unbolt the whole thing at once

The beauty of long tubes..
