Did you have to drain the coolant on your Headers Install?
I'm putting my Strup Headers on in a couple of days and I was curious to see if I really need to buy coolant beforehand! Please let me know if you guys needed to!
Thanks,
Anthony

I guess its just prefrence then? Draining the coolant has nothing to do with the fitment of the headers. It just makes it easier to remove/reinstall the header bolts cuz the hardpipe for the coolant is in the way.

We were able to install the Strup headers on my car without draining the coolant. IIRC, the driver's side nuts may be a bit easier to get at without the lines in the way, but with the right swivel tools we didn't have to move them and we were extra careful not to break them either.
These were a life saver;

You shouldn't need any new coolant. Just use a clean container to drain the coolant into. Then when you are done just pour it back in the radiator. You may need some for top off but that is probably about it.
