I just bought BC's ceramic shorty headers along with their exhaust pipes. I bought muffler from Advance Auto w/ 20% off and free shipping. When I got it from my dad it had long headers that had to be unbolted to change out starter. I ended up cutting off the headers b/c too dang hard to get out!!! Although I am having a hard time installing the BC headers. Plenty of clearance, just the bolts are hard to install. Could be the installer too!
