I'm going to receive and install my bb headers,bb x-pipe, rims, and rotors this weekend. Then i'm going to Vegas Monday or Tuesday. I wonder how the car is going to sound with the x-pipe and the headers with no resonators and no cats.
Does anyone know what special tools i'm going to need for the headers installation?

1. 13 mm "ratchet crescent" to get the old header bolts out.

2. PERCYS gaskets for the headers.

3. ARP 12 point, stainless hardware for the mounting.

4. 10 mm 12 point ratchet crescent to install the stud nuts.

5. Anti-sieze for the studs.

6. BEER

7. ADVIL

8. If you aren't happy with the gaskets, a set of the copper monsters I had made.

I have similar plans this weekend. Well without the Vegas thing and I didn't get rims or rotors... But I am going to be installing B&B Headers to an XPIPE cat back with no resonators. It should sounds great! Can't wait. I don't have a tune yet to turn off the rear O2's so I will probably put the CATS in for now.

See StealthV's write up on installing headers in the CadillacFAQ. He has some good tips. Also HDMLNIUM had some tips in one of his postings. Do a search. The big thing he reccomened as I remember it was using Craftsman speed wrenches to get the manifold bolts out.
