Is your car an M6 or A10? Looks like the pulley is pretty easy on these cars compared to say older Corvettes. I was leaning toward doing a blower pulley, but now I’m thinking a lower might be easier. And give me room to grow if I ever want to get more aggressive.

It was trial and error to gain clearance needed to fit. Basically You remove the stock exhaust.. On the pass side it was easier to remove the studs 2 by the cat so that that the tri manifolds would drop out easier. Then I slid headers from the Bottom but the new Aluminum brace and motor mount will not allow it along with another part.. So back to the top, I for sure new the Reservoir had to come out, then I took off the bracket for the heater hose by front of head. Then dropping the headers down I got it in almost all the way accept the bung touching the starter shield, then I got a little further and the Valve cover is so tall it wont let yo turn it to slide it down or rotate. There are no directions anywhere from anyone youtube nothing. The starter was not in the way on the TSP but the Starter shield bolt heads kept interfering with the bung for the 02 sensor.
I Had directions like this it would of been easy instead of scratching your head and thinking.. With these direction you can go straight to what needs to be done.
Talking with Matt Sorian and Rodney there are some times the motor mounts get loosen and the motor is lifted to clear. And the 2" kooks they did on Katytx06 or what ever his name is from 3 weeks ago was a bad set and the primary touched the steering shaft.
I have a M6
for $599 it Kicks the crap out of ARH, Beats the heck out of Kooks and Stainless works.
