How to install headers???
#22
Has anyone on here installed headers on a revup motor? I heard that on the revup motors you MUST either shim the motor so that the headers do not hit the stearing column? If anyone with a revup has had headers installed let me know. This will determine whether or not I have a shop do it or me.
EDIT: I post under my brother account again. But the is Jon jtgli asking the question ha.

Headers on the Z are definately not an easy task. Although it can be done on jackstand but you will get a few bloody knucles and a lot of headaches while doing the install. Just save the money that you're going to spend on headers and go twin turbos.

Thanks gothchick. My bro, has strups and for some reason the shop that installed them said that they needed to shim his motor for them to fit. I dunno why? Just was hoping that other people didnt have the same problem. Did you install your headers?

I've got the DC headers too. I had a local tuner shop install them along with a tune and some other things.
The headers cost me $499 and $480 labor...well worth it IMO...sound great, no fitment issues.
