in hein-sight... would it have been easier to have just removed the engine, install what you can, reinstall engine, then button up the remaining tubing? I know it seems like more work to drop the engine, but what u did amazes me that there werent some exhaust leaks. And then getting to those leaks would be a biotch

^ Don't need to pull. I put mine up on 4 jacks and was able to get under and do what I needed to do. Even installed a clutch/flywheel that way too. Had a tranny jack for that which helped a ton!

The fitment is very tight but if you do things in the right order you should be fine. I did have some hissing but my tuner cleaned up my bolts (just tightened them) before the dyno and haven't had any probs since.

Though its hard to get to some area to tighten a screw I think it was a better idea going the way he did so he can make sure what fit where and what not.
