Yes'sir. Fixing the wheel bearings actually had alot to do with the decision to keep the car.
I may need your help with this header. I can do the actual installation with my eyes closed (I've done it 3-4 times before so it is REALLY quick/easy for me), but I think I may run into problems with that extension pipe. It needs to be a particular length so it can hook up with a very important brace behind the oil pan that supports the collector/flex-pipe intersection. The people who made this part are FocusCentral, and they do not believe in the importance of this brace, so many of their exhaust products are made so that one cannot utilize it (the brace basically keeps the collecor end stable, putting less strain on the header up at the head...without it cracking at the welds will occur). So I may need your welding skills to cut out a small section, then reweld the flange back on the pipe so it will mate with that support.
