where are the pics!?!?
congrats on getting the header in... sounds similar to the world of turbo installs... lifting the motor, removing exhaust studs and bleeding is a great combination for a christmas morning

update
header is installed, but car is not finished, have to wrap up the blower install now. the header is so damn big that u either have to remove some of the header studs or remove the motor mount and jack the engine up. god what a royal pita. but its in.
now time for dinner with the family.
on a side note, what happens when your using a wrench and trying so hard to loosen up a bolt? well anyone thats turned a wrench can answer this. the bolt comes loose faster then you expect and you punch the ****** motor so god damn hard with your pointer finger that it bleeds under the nail LOL. seriously, i thought i saw stars when it happened and i said every curse word in the book.

side note, got to run a hooked up 350z on my test drive lol. 2nd gear roll, i gave him the hit. then got in it. by the top of third i was 6-8 cars ahead LOL. raped ur face!
