Yeah, whenever we ship stuff to Canada, it always seems to spend a week or two in customs...

There are tricks to sending product to Canada quickly. I cant post how but when you buy product it will be up to the company sending the product as to what way they send it so it may not make a difference what you know.

Go-slow on the headers and it is not too hard. Just leave yourself lots of time and well a friend to help consume beverages while you do it is always helpful.

Good things take time as you well know.
More than once, I've had to pay for items on my VISA before the goods arrived.....4-6 wks. :(
The way that Canadian dollar is rising, by the time I'm ready for my TOG headers they'll be a real bargain.
Wife is starting to give me a hard time about my desires to make the Bonne'* bark a little louder. She likes the mellow tone.
I know taking the CAT off will rouse the neighbours.

Hey PontiacDad.
Let'* keep this thread going thoughout our header install and give each other, as well as the other members, a day by day progress report.

So far I have just removed the exhaust cross-over and the front exhaust manifold. It was a piece of cake but it is time consuming. No problem for me since the car is garaged for the next month with the weather anyways.

Any hints before I tackle the deadly rear manifold??

Should I go one or two heat ranges colder with the new plugs...I haven't picked them up yet.
