*Remove starter and install passenger side from bottom.

Ive heard our stock gaskets are better. My bbk gaskets leak a tiny bit. Some day ill swap them back out for the stock gaskets

I installed mine after i got rid of the stock resonator...and sound clips? Also..on my car i didnt notice much power change until i had my tune revised...hows yours?

Looks perty!! Great informational video and it sounds good. I'm sure it sounds better in person.

After a nice test drive I in sport/paddle shift, I can deal more power and my 1-2 chirp was better.
Best gage of seat of the pants improvement was playing around in 2ed gear, 2,500-3,500 RPM launches more peppy and half throttle 2ed gear pulls also felt way more responsive.

Nice install! For those that had gasket trouble any thoughts on double gasketing? I had done that with valve covers years ago with success and had heard it being done with header also.

On my daughter's 2012V6 (same engine and headers) I reused the stock gaskets. The stock gaskets are the best. No leaks.

Even on my old 2000GT when I put long tubes on at 85K miles, I reused the stock gaskets. No leaks after 40K miles when I sold the car.

I love the in cabin rumble from the headers, the huge 3 into 1 collectors make a mean growl!
