JBA Shorty Install

Glad it went well, seriously, get the mids. You will be surprised how much they help.

Good to hear it went well. I recommend the mids as well. Just make sure those plug wires aren't touching the headers. Been there done that. It's amazing how crappie it runs when the wires are grounding out on the headers.

video clip?

I kinda wish I would've just picked up some shorties and catted mids. But in the long run I like my LT's, I just hated installing them. After I get the Corsa on there it's going to sound like a bad ass.

My SLP passenger side header went in from the top will just removing the coil packs, plugs, and plug wires.

I went through this the other day. 1 of mine was just barely touching and it burnt through. I just cut it off stripped back the end and put it back together. Now it's short enough it doesn't touch and the misfiring went away.

I was very pleased with the end result of my JBA shorty and JBA hi-flow cat install. It took me longer than most because I have never done much wrenching on my cars other than oil changes. You really need another pair of hands for, if I remember, the passenger side header to mid pipe install. The rest of the job is a one person job. The sound eventually was what I wanted. After about 1000 miles it got sounding real good, then I traded for a vette. I miss the goat. I will someday get another one.
