Installing headers. OMG what a PITA

Installing headers. OMG what a PITA
Finally have my RK Sport mid length headers installed and torqued down.
All you guys were right about how slow going and tedious the install is. It has not been hard but I have had to get creative to make things line like they should.
Im still a good week or two from firing it up, I have the clutch, tranny, plug wires all out and I am taking my time and not pushing it.
I sincerely hope that when these headers, new 9MM OVC wires, clutch, and catalytic converter are all installed there is a very noticable improvement in performance, especially above 5K RPM.
Im still several weeks away from doing the 1.6 RR and LT4 spring install.
Everyones tips on header install have been appreciated.

I hope that you installed them while the tranny was out... makes it alot easier. That's what we did with mine and it went much easier than one we did afterwards with the tranny in.
