headers are kickin my ass
started the install this evening... everything is going fine exept i can not for the life of me get a couple of bolts to come off. The two on the passenger side that connect the downpipe to the front exhaust manifold and the three on the cat... i have sprayed the crap out of them with pb and hit them with an impact wrench... ieven tried letting the car idle for a bit to heat them up and still nothing... my father is going to bring an air ratchet tomorrow. hopefully that will work.... it is a fight now...

well after about 4 hours of work i have the headers in and the front suspension done... not bad for a first timer...all i can say is i am completely wiped.... figured since it is a 3 day weekend i would finish up the rear later...
i took it for a ride and noticed a slight inmprovement in the tourqe but have not really pushed it hard yet. Also, i was surprised that the TL rims where not rubing with the prokit springs... we will see what happens after i finish the rear.. ill post pic's when i am done.

okay, so i caught a second wind and finished the back.... not a fun job for one person... a dead blow hammer and a jack did the trick though....
