The only bolt that is even slight a pain to get started is the front passenger side header bolt and that's only because there is a harness and hoses that are mounted to a bracket right on the corner of the motor. Unbolt the bracket and stuff moves around, it's just tight enough to be annoying. Every other bolt is easy peezy. A 10mm ratchet wrench is perfect to get to all but that front bolt.
I like the sound. With the NPP in tour mode, it still cruises nice and quiet, similar to what it sounded like in sport before. But when you have the valves open and hit the gas you will be waking people up. It's quite a bit louder now which I think is perfect. I can still start it in stealth mode and my wife doesn't even realize what I've done to it...  |
I'm getting these CSP headers installed soon.
On the top side, did you have to remote the usual: coolant reservoir, dipstick tube etc?
How long did th install take?
