Dude,  I tried like hell to do it without lifting the engine.  No Way Jose!  The passenger side might have gone in had I removed the oil filter adapter, The drivers side is a very tight fit. The fuel return line sits real close and the hold down bracket had to be squeezed down or it hit the manifold.

The only hard part of the install was trying to torque them to spec with a 1/2 drive torque wrench. Other then that is was a breeze. Had I gone with headers I would have still been cussing and trying to get bolts in.

Street Pro, Race Pro or the Violater (I don't think I spelled that right)?

I know the feeling.  I have had mine forever and still haven't really heard them. 

I have the RacePro's and hope they are not too quiet.  I am a little worried about that.  I want a nice aggressive tone.  I guess we will see when I get my engine together.
