I believe I've heard a few times that the Hot Shots sounded best. I think they make good power too, especially on a ZE.

I put mine in with the engine out. I am not sure how long it would take if it wasnt pulled out!! took just a hour to isntall everything but the EGR pipe does not line up. You need to get it bent to fit.

pffft no need to pull engine..simply take our your intake manifold and stick em in there.. its easy..outside of the engine it took me..eh 15 minutes? LOL when engine was in it took me around 1 hour and a half and alot of scratches later. I was using a man hole. its MUCH easier if the engine is out. Bolt on minus the egr.

how much does the EGR pipe need to be bent>? lol, and i could just remove the EGR and weld the spot on the headers shut and the same on the intake mani?
