i'm helping my friend install new headers on his 8 tomorrow, any advice or perhaps a DIY step by step on how to install them??? thanks any help will be appreciated. BTW i searched for insatalling headers and i cant find sh^%$

thanks guys!

 

basically the easiest way is to go ahead and take the time to take off the motor mount, bracket, and anything else that gets in the way. Many people try to cut corners and wedge it in there and what not, but its much easier to take the extra time and do it once.

Jack the car up, take pass. wheel off.

Get a very long extension and take the 6 14mm nuts off the stock manifold.

Put a jack and block of wood between jack and oil pan to support motor weight.

Take motor mount bracket and motor mount off.

Remove three bolts from midpipe ( go ahead and have replacement bolts/nuts for this part. they WILL break)

Remove stock manifold.

Reverse order. Use new gaskets and bolts.

Any other questions call me or post here.

 

hey man thanks for the info, it took us 2 hours to finish the job, (including breakfast and beer brake )
