Amazing right up. I'm going to attempt this on the weekend (long weekend for us Canadians :P)
Great pictures, I've got an '05 SC, with a ZZP 3" to 2.5" header/downpipe. I'm very excited to try this.
Any performance gains (before tune) on 100% stock car? (doing all bolt on's before i go stage 2 and need a tune)

Personally I say yes. It reduces your under hood temps on the back side of the engine by a lot. You can't see the header anyway so just put the shield back on after bending it to fit and save yourself from getting things hotter then they need to be back there.
It also quiets the header noise some. Yes headers can make a wooshing noise that sounds kinda like an exhaust leak but isn't. They are tube stainless steel and don't block out sound like a thick manifold.
By the way you might want to note that the 2.4 auto is all done through the top side and is easy to do up there. You can't get to anything from the bottom on mine.

Thanks for you advice

One thing I've found, if you have them, is a 13mm ratcheting wrench, particularly with the swiveling head, makes the job super easy from the top, as you can get to all 10 bolts and knock them out pretty quick that way. Only one this doesn't work for is that JBP fuckup of a header, but if you're installing that you deserve whatever it takes to put it on.

Awesome
Cant wait to install my new Longtube headers and downpipe from RacingSolution.com when I get home from Iraq, I will most likely use this DIY guide!
