Project Budget 10 Second Camaro Thread by Black94Z28

I had a Saturday off work today and ended up getting around to starting the shorty headers to longtube header swap. Carri (z28camarocarri on here) gave me a set of used Hooker Long Tubes (Thanks a ton!!) and I plan on intalling them and running true dual exhaust with bullet mufflers. 

For today, my goal was just to remove the shorty headers that came on the car when I bought them. Took a couple pictures along the way. Wasnt that difficult to do, Im guessing the hard part is to come when I intall the LTs.

Drivers Side Before...

Passenger Side...

First thing I did was removed the Y-pipe and got that out of the way...

Started removing the header bolts along with the spark plugs and wires...

Then disconnect the O2 sensor and wiggled the header free for them engine bay...

Did the same thing on the passenger side, but had to also removed the EGR tube, the dipstick, and starter...

E3 spark plugs, look a little dirty...what can I use to clean these up? The E3s are pretty new...

The old headers are out!! Also pulled the EGR tube out along with some plastic tube that was on the frame, not sure what it was, but it was unplugged...

Hehe...My Camaro is pulling a wheelie...hope I can do this for real once everything is done.
