Well, as you can see, some more work done. Only took me a week of soaking the bolts on the exhaust manifolds before they'd come off easily. Then an hour of twisting them around to get them out of the engine compartment.

Above them, you can see the Edelbrock TES headers. I've had these laying around for years. I also cut the cat off, it was destroyed internally. Matrix had completely broken down. I'm starting to doubt the milage on this vehicle.
