anybody installed headers by themselves? was it a nightmare? I dunno if I'd be able to reach without losing my mind. There barely any room.

 

Headers are a headache to install I understand there is not alot of room to work with but many have tackled the job before.

 

hijacking my own thread..


Hey Ed, did you ever fix your busted cats and redyno?

 

I did get them fixed so I am ready for a dyno

 

seriously, don't. (i mean, if you use jackstands to change your oil i'd be afraid to see how you'd do headers)

 

how the ***** do YOU change your oil, dumbazz?! without jack stands, that is. you're suppose to use a jackstand.. what a tard

 

PWN3D ......lol at these NOOBS

 

I should start an Official 'NO' thread, lol.

 

ramps

 

i did it myself... cant say i'd do it again hehe. but if you need help or get stuck you can always hit me up

 

lol, I guess 2 frustrated dudes would be better than one
thanks for the offer, bro, I'll keep it in mind

BTW I wouldnt trade those gear wrenches I posted for anything! Best wrenches Ive ever bought.

 

It will take you a full day by yourself the first time. I have done 4 sets now and have the process down to 7 hours by myself. If you need anything give me a ring!

 

canny, ur such a dumbass . Hes refering to when you used the OEM jack to do your oil change w/o jackstands and it gave in. Remember that thread? Darwin will get ya this time........

the thread is still around, but canny probably edited it.


Headers are a biotch from what ive heard, would like to try myself.

+1. Make sure you have 100 mile tow coverage before you start.

The two front header bolts are not spaced adequately to allow wrench room! I am impressed by anyone who has properly installed more than one! Hire them to do it and save your frustration for something else.

 

Yeah it takes about 8 hrs to 7 hrs to install, make sure you check you linkage on your stearing linkage because you will have to take it apart, invest insome gear ratches also, you can pull the headders out from down under the car after you get them unbolted, its best also to work on the headers from under the car, some parts you will have to be above it though, it took 8 hrs to complete the DC headder install on my friends z, mines next and i dont look forward to it!

 

the first time it took me around 12hrs now i have that ive done 5 sets im down to about 6hrs

 

With a lift maybe. Without a lift forget it.
