Yes they can. I have a set made by Exotic Muscle installed on my SuperNatural.
They installed very easily from the bottom of the car. I believe you might have a few photos of them that I took when I was picking my car up at Old Lyme after the installation of the Megaphones. If not, let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

Mark, Thanks much for the rapid response! :m

Last weekend, my friend was yanking the engine from his GS and I lent a hand - Man! It had been 15 years since I had pulled an engine! :eek

We dropped the trans out and the exhaust, etc. Helped that he has a 2 post lift in his (home) garage :upthumbs Made life much easier!

This weekend, we are re-installing the new engine - He hasn't gotten the headers yet - I think they are coming by the weekend - if not, that is why it is good to know they can be installed afterwards.

Mark, Have you had your car out lately?? Love those Megaphones!!!

Thanks again :cool

It's been about a month now; too much snow and too cold, although it's supposed to get up into the 40's for the next couple of days.
Going to be ordering new tires in the next couple of days and I think I might drop the wheels off to get them refinished.

By the way, what brand of headers did your friend order? The set of Exotic Muscle ones I have are very nice. Ceramic coated both inside and out and like I said earlier, fit was very good (The shop at Old Lyme even mentioned about the quality). There was only one small spot on the right side cross member near the starter I ground down a little because of the close fit. Also, when the Meg's were installed, Scott welded in a H-pipe.
 
Mark, I'd have to ask what brand - I will let you know how they look and fit :m


New tires = more drag racing??? :D
