Depends on what midpipe you had before this and what mods you have now. If you had the stock midpipe and manifolds then Im going to guess 15-20rwhp. If you had an aftermarket then Im going to guess around 10-15rwhp

Are those ceramic coated?
Ask the mechanic, How was the fitment? I almost bought some the other day but i was hesitant on Mac's.

Good luck, should sound great though.

WTF, no you dont have to drop the motor. Hell you can do it with the k member up there too, but I wouldnt. All you have to do is drop the k. Has this guy ever done headers on mod motor before??? http://www.dndgarage.net/macltheaderinstall.htm It helps to have ratcheting wrenches and to remove the starter when bolting up the pass. side header.

Yes, youll feel a pretty good difference with the LT's and midpipe. Im running the same combo right now and I love them. For the track I bolt on the o/r h pipe.

i dont no i dont wana argue with him lol he's dun headers before but not a mod motor but hey its for free and he's been doin it for 40 yrs so im happy about it i cant wait to get it back!

If I was you, Id show him that write up I just posted. Ive done 10+ header installs on these mod motors and dropping the motor is 110% unnecessary and a complete waste of time. He will probably be very thankful.
