K, so my header finally came today, nothin special, just a ceramic coated knock-off of the DC sports...it was cheap, not lookin for a huge gain, just a little somethin...didn't cost much so i dont expect much

anyhow, im gonna put it on this weekend, looks like a pretty straightforward install to me, but does anyone have any tips or advice from experience?

i read in some articles that you have to remove the fan? is this really necessary? or can i squeeze the stock header past it [this one is a 2 piece]

thanks!

 

I think its a LOT easier if you can jack the car up high enough to remove it from the bottom.

 

shoud be an easy install since its a 2 piece..

 

you dont need to romove the fan it is a easy install just make sure you put the douhnut from your old header on
what companie did you buy it from?

 

got it off ebay...focuz motorsports...it looks pretty good, should definitely be a nice improvement over stock...i'll snap some pictures when i get a chance

 

Spray on some WD-40 or other lubricant ahead of time on all the bolts. Dem thangs are hard to take off sometimes.

 

Also don't forget the braket bolt to on the side of your stock manifold on the right.
Easy to drop out the bottom. good luck

dont worry, you can reuse the donut from your old header, its jus there to prevent exhaust leaks. Make sure you have a o2 sensor tool handy, and have patience, theres not much room down there for leverage
