Installed ****** headers

[AtomicHoe094]

After debating with them about selling or putting them on, i finally pulled the trigger. I put them on today in about less then 4hrs. wasnt to bad. Had a clearance issue with the passenger side header towards the bottom, but i ground down some metal of the frame and its perfect now. Right now its open headers! haha yes its loud. But in the next week or so im going to throw just a muffler on it and dump on each side right before the rear wheels.
I also had to cut the rear alternator bracket, you cant even tell its been modified unless you have a TBI lol but thats about it

Tomorrow im going to detail the engine bay and organize some wires and make it clean. I also painted my limited rim centercap, tell me what you think about it

I should install another alternator there, that would be bad assss

Looks like it's for the air (smog) pump. Another alternator in there would be nice if it fits and works with the belt routing

wait are these shorties or longs?

So how hard was it to put on yourself. I'm thinking of getting some headers and would like to know what kind of working I should look forward to.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

then motor came off a 93 Blazer, so idk what they put there..

They are long tubes.. LTs...

They were pretty damn easy..........with a lift wd40 your bolts like every day for a week in advanced! lol if nothings rusty, then youll be fine. without a lift i would never ever recommend it lol

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

there not bad, had to cut all 3 bolts of that held the manifolds to the pipes....dont recall having an issue with the bolts to the heads. once the old manifolds were off it was cake. granted they were shorties so they bolts right back up to the exhaust.

 

[the big blue bus]

my motors a 95 but it should still work right? the motors didnt change till 96 i think. where did you get em

 

[AtomicHoe094]

no they are all the same.. tbi is a tbi.. the tbis will bolt on a vortec anyways..

Ebay about a yr ago..

 

[the big blue bus]

allright thanks for the info

 

[Danny_Z56]

Nice work! I bet it will sound real good once you have your entire exhaust done Should gain some mid range and top end punch,plus maybe better gas milage.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

better gas mileage?? haha yea right. lol they said 2-3 with the electric fans and 1-2 with the volant CAI, im still at 10mpgs. lol shit. haha

 

[Rebelution]

Atomic, quit driving like a bat outta hell and maybe with a little luck you'll get 15 mpg lol.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

damn i wish i could come close to that! lol im sure LTs isnt going to help either. anyone have any good ideas of getting my foot off that pedal? lol
