Got some headdddddddddddders

New Crawford toys. Here is $2100.00 of fun. I will do my own installs because I believe I care more about my car than the guys down at the Infiniti dealer. They all love Honda's And that scares me. IM having a hard time trying to figure out if I should go ypipe and factory exhaust or ??????????? Any input sure would help a bunch. I would hate to buy a ypipe and then decide on A true duel exhaust system. Of course I want quite and low end power. IM open for suggestions. Any suggestions for exhaust gaskets? Thanks Dennis

Looks hot ... but wow, how are you planning on installing the headers when most of them were installed with the assist of lifting the engine slightly.

glad to see you're doing it yourself. I don't see very many people do that here.

much respect to you.

Exhaust... If you have the cash to do the headers, and actually have the cash left over for the exhaust, go for true duals, the borla kit is really good from what I hear. Forget that Y pipe, it restricts the flow of air pretty bad.

Your a brave man to do the install yourself. It took my Infiniti dealership all day to install them. I had the Crawford headers, cats and plenum installed at the same time. I was there when they installed mine and someone else's. Both times they had to tilt the engine. The drivers side goes in A LOT easier than the passanger side. Make sure you know what your getting into before you attempt it yourself. Don't waste your money on a Y-pipe.

I have no worries about the installs. Im from the old school and I know how to work on cars. I need to do this because there are a few other tricks taking place at the same time. Damn I love this car. We will see what happens.
