Last weekend I exchanged beer for my neighbor's help and we swapped out my OEM exhaust with a Billy Boat Fusion system.
That all went fine and happy with the results.
We also took a look at swapping my OEM headers for the MagnaFlow units I purchased a while back.
My neighbor has extensive experience and great collection of automotive tools, but after messing with the passenger side heat shield for 45 minutes, he cried uncle and we settled for just getting the exhaust done. Even if we tried to work around the loose heat shield without fully removing it, he just couldn't see a way to get at all the header bolts without dropping the engine.
I see several threads where V owners mention getting their headers removed with the engine in place. Anyone who has done it have any tips for us to make another pass at it?
He has an engine hoist if we have to go that route, but would much rather do it the "easier" way if at all possible.
Thanks.
