all right I have been at it since 7 this morning. it took me a good 6 hours and gutting my forearm just to get the right side headers and cats off another 2 for the passenger side. also masked off the underbody and sprayed the first coat of lizardskin sound deadner. I am letting that dry overnight and will hit it again in the morning with the heat shield. I am dog tired right now and going to bed to dream that putting the headers and HFC back in will be easier.

I guess I should have put money under my pillow for my dream of an easy install to come true. took most of the day to get them in. also had to take the original headers and have the upstream sensors heated to get them out they were melted into the header and would not come out without heating them up. had to re tap them just to get them to work. but was afraid that they had been destroyed in the process. It roared to life just after midnight and as I guessed I am throwing a code. I dont know if it is the sensors or the need for a tune I guess I will figure it out for now I hope it will not affect anything until I know for sure. I could not get on it since it still in on stands and it would wake the neighbors but once I get the sways on I will take it out for a sound check.

finally went to the dyno and got a tune. I dont know the type yet but it runs 10-15 less than the average so the results are not the greatest but the feel is alot better. it ran a 298hp with a 240 torque. it ran very strong. plus the temp was close to 98 degrees when we made the pulls. The only problem I am seeing now is my LSD/VDC light comes on once I go into 2 gear and stays on but once I turn the car off and then back on it goes away until second gear. Not sure what is going on if anyone has any ideas let me know.
