Yes after sitting in the garage for 6 weeks I finally put the Torque Monster Headers in this weekend. It went like this:

Sunday:
9am Start on passenger side
12pm Header in and bolted up, EGR tube left to modifiy

Took a break for the wifes B-Day

6pm Started to modifiy EGR
7:30 EGR installed...Passenger side done

Monday
Work all day

5:30pm start on Driver side

7pm Driver side done and start the X
find 2 plugs arching on passenger side, run to Autozone

7:30 New plugs in and Run the X again and check for leaks.

I have yet to drive it but the trip to work Tuesday will be the test.
It diffenantly sounds different throught the Mac Cat Back.

So total hours spend by myself was about 6 hours in the driveway without my compressor(the motor shelled) Not too bad?????

do you have sound clip of the mac cat back? Still considering my options and would like to hear the mac. They are loud on my buddies stang but not sure what they would be on an X.
 






I did not get different gaskets. I was going to but got lazy and just wanted to get it done. I used alittle High temp silicone on both sides of the gaskets. If they leak they leak and I will do it at a later date. I still want to get better plug wire protectors and some Performace Distributors plug wires.
 






Re-torque the bolts several times, after running it a bit.

Or at least follow the instructions and use the included threadlocker, haha. I failed to do that the first time and actually ended up losing a bolt!
