I got the driver side Flowmaster header installed.........It wasn't as simple as the passenger side........Seems Flowmaster forgot about the lower control arm mounting bracket on the Drivers side.........Had to remove a good sized chunk of the bracket to clear the pipe......structurally is won't matter.....But!!!.......for what they charge for them , they should fit without any mod's.......and .....my engine is about 3/8 higher than using stock adaptor plates.......So.....it would have been much worse with the header if the engine was lower.......I also have to rework the trans crossmember as the collectors run right into it.........
On the good side........installing the Speartech harness on the engine took about 5 minutes.......Great Job Speartech.......everything marked and labeled perfectly.........
