Thanks for all the help guys, I got the headers eariler this week and had no problems getting them in with my rear tires on ramps, and the front on jackstands. Unfortunately, they shipped the wrong pipes that connect the X-Pipe to the mufflers, so LG is sending me the right ones. It sucks that I can't finish the car for a few days, but I have to say LG was really good to deal with. Just a pic emailed and within 15 minutes they told me I had the wrong pipes and they were sending the right ones.

Well it'll give me a chance to do a few other things and fire up the HP Tuners and look at the tune.

Terrific!

Somethings else to ponder! If the new LG you have is slip fit......contrary to some claims....it will leak.

I should have done that from the get go to avoid the necessary clean up, re-expand the splits to restore fit and just unnecessary nuisance in general.

On mine LG Pro, I had to use high temp silicone copper in the joints, to get rid of the annoying exhaust leaking sound.

Thanks. That's good to know. Luckilly I can't tighten anything down until I get the pipes in. I thought about replacingbthe band clamps with regular ones. Back when I got a Borla for my Camaro I always heard they were problematic.
