Just installed my headers the other night. Everythings fine and working but next day the SES light went off. So, is their something wrong with the headers??

fyi: i also have testpipes and have the defoulers on and never had any issues.

help will be greatly appreciated!!

 

How about a code? THat should narrow it down.

 

ill try to find out the code

 

Isnt it good if the light is off?

Sorry.. i know...

 

^^ i meant it as SES light turned on

 

Thinking about picking up headers and doing the install myself as well. Currently researching the procedure..how is the install any tips/tricks you care to share?

 

i got a p1274 code when my headers where changed out, it in shop now to get code off, they tried before and couldnt get to stay off. Well see, i think there was possibly a exhaust leak. But im now sure.

 

pulling the motor is a good tip if you have a lift
but there is a coolant pipe over the passenger side exhaust manifold
remove it from the other hard pipe with a 12mm and you can get to all the studs more easily

i just did my set of headers 2 days ago

 

ok disconnected the battery and also checked out all the bolts on the headers. found out that some were loose. soo i just retighten them, also rechecked other bolts and gave it a test drive.

i certainly dont have the SES on soo, its good for now. hopefully that fix the header leak.

 

Is it possible to do the install without removing the engine?

 

yeah thats how i did mine..i was going to pull the motor just so i didnt have to fight if it had problems. then again i have a lift i can use and it make is easy..takes the same amount of time either pulling the motor or just doing them in the car
