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.
