are they coated?? When i put my slp's in, i did uncoated first, and then noticed a nice plastic burning smell in my vents, so i pulled them ou and coated them.
and like eric said, plugs and wires are easy to do with no pipes in the way...

I didn't change plugs & wires just yet because the motor is comming apart this weekend so its no use.
They are polished stainless steel inside & out and when they heat up they bronze too a nice color
I only had to remove dust covers on the steering shaft, the throttle positioning dust cover, oil dipstick, oil filter and the altenator. There was also the AIR valves that I disconected from the top of the manifolds & one from behind the intake on the passanger side. Also when installing them from underneath the coolent sensors in the cylinder heads were in the way (we accidentally broke them)
As for the exhaust set up its going to be a 3" y-pipe (oval off the collector due to clearance issues) to a 4" collector -> 3" reducer out through my magnaflow 3" exhaust. Theres also a cut-out inbewteen for fun!
Were expecting to see big power gains on the dyno with these bad boys. Expect them out early November!

They look pretty good. I'm surprised you broke the coolant sensor(s) because I had no problem getting my headers in with leaving them in the head. I had other problems due to the minivan transmission that was in my car!

The flange on our headers was a lil to thick in the sensor area so I had to grind around it, but thats no problem.
Heres some pictures of the finished Y-pipe:
I accidentally deleted the picture with the dual cut-out & of it bolted on...
