It looks as if the y-pipe being installed will block the transmission from being able to be removed from the car. I had these guys at a shop tell me that they couldn't weld it in because of this and that they would just have to use clamps. Anybody else have this problem?

PS: I was also curious on how often everyone has to tighten their header bolts.

 

i do every month on my SLP's - i should have gotten the locking bolts.... and now i dont have the time to change em

 

Any idea on where to pick up some locking bolts?

 

how often do you plan to drop your trans?

i would clamp the ypipe to the headers and the rest can be welded.

as for bolts, i've checked mine 2 times in 6 months and found them all to be as tight as the first time. and i reused stock bolts.

 

Ok that's cool. That's all I was really curious about everything.
