Tony -- installation question for you. Does the engine need to be lifted out in order to install these? My mechanic said he seems to recall that when he installed my Stillen headers, the cats had to be out of the way in order for him to reach the bolts. With LTHs, that's obviously not an option. I mean, there are no cats, but the pipe extends through to where the cats would have been, and you can't just move them out of the way. Hence my question. I'm hoping my mechanic just remembers wrong. It's been about six months since he put my headers in, after all.
