Texas Speed Headers Install

So I just received my set of LTH's and everything looks great.

Just wondering to those who installed them on their own as I will do the same, Were they a perfect fit or did you have to do any extra work to them?

I figured it will probably take around 3-4 hours or so but don't want to start taking it apart if something else has to be done.

Holy shit . What a crazy install 10 hours later. Everything was solid until I floored it a few times. Then my traction control light came on and a blinking check engine. Then came the misfire. I'm thinking my spark plug boot wires got burnt

Just a heads up, the headers do touch the 2nd sparkplug on the right side. Looking for a solid solution as I don't want it to burn it.

Also the only problem I ran into was after installing is that you have to grind down the bolt for the steering shaft or it hits when turning.

Other than that I'm happy I went with TSP.

I switched to MSD wires, having no issues.

I do however have the steering shaft intermittently hitting the header as I am doing hard right turns only...So u grinded it down a bit?? Got any pics to post to share? would def be appreciated!

Ahhhh I wasn't even thinking to take pictures of it. I'll try to get some this weekend as I'm going to recheck all the bolts on the headers to make sure they're on tight.
