2 bolts on the swivel, one top to the steering shaft, one lower to the rack. The top is keyed and marking is not needed. All you have to do is make the lower.

edit: yes and like Vq.turbo.DremZ said, its a g35... hence the lightweight driveshaft mod being on the docket. :/

6 per side, same as OEM, then as mentioned i used 2 studs on the top middle cylinder to hold the gasket in place. Once the header was in place i removed the one stud to put a bolt in the hole.

Do not use a stud on the lower middle hole across from the unused upper stud, it will touch the header before it gets tightened down. I made that mistake and had to remove the header to get the stud out once again.

I got my headers also, I have waited a long time to buy a set of longtubes and it was worth the wait. Absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately between ordering these and now, my plans for the car have changed, I no longer have the funds to put the cams in like I was gonna, which is necessary for the non-revups, and so I'm sticking with test pipes and my xyz-pipe that I have. I'm sad to let these go before even getting a chance to hear and feel how they sound. I know this isn't the classifieds, but I'll just say if someone wants a set of these w/o the wait, I got a set sitting close to TO, Canada

Good luck to all the rest who are installing their's, and I along with everyone else am anxiously waiting for videos, but mostly DYNOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Family and wiring got in the way but I'll fire it up tomorrow!

I jump the gun on that post didn't think soldering would take forever!

NOTE:

When pairing up the wiring.

Black to Black (doesn't matter)
Blue to Blue
White to White

Don't solder on top of the silver wire (stock wire) it will roll off and not stick!

LOL @ beginning of video. While it does idle weird, the exhaust sounds good. What's that sea green colored thing in your exhaust outlet in the beginning of the video?

All correct one of the breather hoses wasn't on. An actually coming from test pipes the idle is no different, only after 3k does it go wild.

After actually finishing only gripes is the gaskets, actually was thinking of putting the stock metal ones back on! Also a little heads up on wrapping them in a shirt or something while putting them in....stupid dings/scratches!

The green thingy is a sock!
