Thanks.

I have read some 99s go on easy, no mods, some had to man handled it but it went on and then some had to grind a little and some more than a little.

I guess it will be a crap shoot as to how much work will be needed to put it on.

You like the header so far?

I have a 2000 and want to do an APN header when I do the rest of my exhaust. Is there any photos out there of where exactly to grind? I know its a 'grind a little and see' kind of thing, But I'm a picture person. they speak a 1000 words after all...

Sounds nice. My setup is going to be very similar. What size is the factory down pipe, 2.25"?

This is my factory sound. I got the old exhaust from the down tube back out last night. I will be putting in the new cat and muffler today. Header will be in a couple of weeks.

Old exhaust. I will post when I get the new one in.

Did you get the 2.5 downpipe from mudfrog too? I'm going to replace my entire exhaust from the head to the tailpipe and I think I'm going to go the route you went. Is yours emissions legal?

It's an APN header I had it ceramic coated locally. IIRC I paid 170ish shipped for the header. And coating was 100

My downpipe was custom mandrel bent by the exhaust shop that welded up my exhaust.
