Well here it is.....cherry bombs in front of wheels....turned out good and only cost a total of $290....had to drop them a bit because passenger side would have been touching the fuel lines if set them right in alcove, but I still got 6" to the ground and a little give in rubber mounts if they rub....lots of space I figure, they look great!....loud as hell though on WOT but not as bad as one might ecpect, quite tame in residential if you shift easy, sounds like I got a 440 chrysler in there. Pretty happy all in all and can take everything out real easy if need be. The power gains are unbelievable....I could not believe the difference!, no lie I figure I picked up at leat 25% more power....the headers install are a whole different story though...had to move engine over on both sides to put em in....8 hrs labor & I forgot to put header tape on em but it didn't seem to be overheating in compartment but only drove abot 20 mins. so will have to see on a long trip.
