[QUOTE="My2003Mach1, post: 10944681, member: 80416"] AGREED.. BTW the K member and LT's took me 5 hours. The over all project defiantly took the better part of the day. Setting the car up.. dropping the mid pipe, lowering the cat-back yadda yadda ... After supporting the engine, If im wrong correct me .. but it was 12 bolts on the K member including the 4 for the front sway bar, hung the calipers, 4 bolts for the struts, 2 for the motor mounts, 1 bolt from the steering shaft, I made solid aluminum rack bushings for my UPR K member, so i removed that and installed the bump steer kit. So not much more in removing the K member to install the LT's... NOTE the Long tubes with a stock K member is a BASTARD!!!! your going to have a MFing time putting the steering shaft through the header .. ::cringe just thinking about it:: among other knuckle busting things. My stock manifolds had no issues coming off, once i got the stock K member off i soaked the header bolts down with something to release the bolts, let it sit while i assembled the new k member. Then simply reversed to reinstall... FYI to each there own when selecting an after market K member. I was torn between the MM K member and the UPR. the difference between the two at the time was about $200 to $300... and the MM was heavier. I'm not a fan of UPR products as much but i have to say it was a GREAT buy, very good quality and fitment issues were non existent. I wouldn't put long tube headers on if you are running simple bolt on's and do not have some sort of power adder. Stock manifold are just DANDY ask around.. ( call shops ) I wouldn't put long tube headers on if you can't afford to buy a K member at the same time. IMHO save your money, buy the K member, front coil overs, LT's maybe depending on your motor mount condition, get new also. Swap everything out at the same time.. You'll be very pleased with the results. I promise. :beer: [/QUOTE]
