Do the motor mounts before you install the headers. I ran the MSD wires in the stock looms. You will need to pull them off and grind them open with a file or something but it's worth the effort. I bought some heat wrap to help protect the fuel lines where the y-pipe crosses from the driver's side and to protect some wires on the passenger side. The passenger side header is a paint to get in and get the EGR tube hooked up. You can run without a tune but the computer will be pretty far off so you will want to get it tuned when you can. You can try breaking the O2's loose with a hammer and wrench, but don't expect them to last long after that. I think I got a couple of weeks out of mine before they stopped working. But it's worth trying before you ruin the new ones with the coating that burns off the headers.
