So I am trying to put on the RB header on my 09. Have eveything off and just cant seem to get the header to go on there. I am going from the rear towards the front and it seem to bind on the chassis. Any pointers? I tried raising and lowering the engine a bit.

Undo both motor mounts and jack the engine up, if that doesn't work then have a buddy take a pry bar and with the engine jacked up try to push it over towards the drivers side as much as possible. Should be able to jam it in there then.

OK, tightened it all up and have a leak somewhere. Does the RB provided gasket (header to cat) replace the stock gasket or goes in there with it? There are recessions in both the cat and header so I am not sure. I just used the stock on and think that may be my leak. Also going to tighten up the o2 sensor just a notch as I was taking it easy on it. I think the header one is ok bc I have low mileage and didn't take the gasket off.

They fit ....you can't reuse the stock cat to manifold gaskets or they leak.
