No problem. I like getting parts from American Muscle but even with shipping costs added in, Speed Concepts will be $50+ cheaper for headers
I buy from Lethal for most of my parts.
This way I know for sure if there is a problem it will be handeld quickly and courteously.
Tried cheaper alternatives long ago.If there was a problem it was like pulling teeth to get things done.
Not worth saving $20-$50 to put up with BS.
I'd inquire with Lethal before buying.

Thanks for your input. Doesn't Lethal have free shipping too?
Until u have trouble with lethal then u will think other wise . And no they do not have free shipping but usually do get 10 % off with code

Ordered all my parts through Lethal, awesome customer service. Headers/midpipe are installed, sound awesome with stingers. Do not regret it all! Deeper at idle, louder throughout the gears and at WOT its insane. Driving in neighborhoods with the windows down sounds like I am going through one big ass tunnel.
Question guys. Im in the garage with the computer as we speak in the process of installing mac longtubes an have a few questions. Did you use the bolts that come with them? Also are there any tricks to get to these hard to reach areas? I didnt drop the k-member. These things are not lining up to well an these bolts are hard to start. Please help
Have macs ceramic for about a year. Haven't rusted and they fit great
I have heard of some guys having to remove their starter. I wish I could help more. Good luck.
Starter must come out. Many will say use the factory studs. They're better than a regular bolt
You can re-use factory hardware and hell even the gaskets are better than paperback. Dropping the K would give you the access you are looking for and give you plenty of room for tightening so there are no leaks!
Good luck!
I had to remove k member and starter. I have no idea how you can get em in there without dropping the k. I tried everything. I used stage 8 bolts so I never have to go back to tighten the bolts up again.
Didnt work on it today. Going to buy oem studs an use them an considering dropping the k-member to finish cause I Know I wont be able to tighten some of the bolts. So on that note if i drop the k-member do I have to an alienment? Also can i put another bung in the driver side header for my air-fuel gauge? I have the catted x an theres no where to put it before the cat. I appreciate all the feed back guys this forum is great. Someone school me on dropping the k-member. thanks

Yes, you will need an alignment as well as an engine support like the one from harbor freight.
1000 Lb. Capacity Engine Support Bar
Also, if your considering the route of dropping the K might as well throw in a tubular K? Will be more beneficial in the end and leave you room to access transmission or if you need access to the headers again. They will be much easier to remove with a tubular K following factory geometry. Also being that it is good to go back in and tighten the studs after the exhaust gets hot after a test drive, this will be much easier as well.

Its 5% off w code. And FWIW, I got my Macs at Stage3motorsports. Less than others AND free shipping.
:beer: Thanks dude!
We do offer free shipping on the Mac headers and our matching X pipes. You can also use code "SVTPERF" when checking out to get a discount on the order.
:beer: Thanks for the support!
just finished up an install of Ceramic coated Mac's/Lethal catted X-pipe, along with Team-Z K-member. All of these parts fit really well together. cranked er up for the first time in months last night, no leaks so far! I reused the stock metal gaskets, even though I bought FMS gaskets, they are too flimsy (IMO)..If you are using your EGR, loosen it at the SC also, it is much easier to get back on. quite at idle and really loud on the gas! The fit is really good all around. I dont like how close one tube comes to the starter, so I did wrap the starter to minimize the heat.
