I recently bought a used DC JDM header and the previous owner was too cheap to use a donut gasket....
so, the shop he took it to freaking welded a test pipe directly to the header. i got a good deal on it, so it's ok.

i know that there are headers out there, such as the comptech race header, which are just as long as my current JDM+test pipe set-up. therefore, i know it can be installed.

what i'm wondering though is will it be as simple/easy as usually installing normal length header on an ITR????
i have installed other normal length headers on my R, but i forgot if the bottom end needs to be angled up to get her in. if it does need to be angled uptowards the engine it will definetely pose a bigger hassle to install this sucker.

anyways, thank in advance.

 

take your fans off and disconnect the clutch hydraulic line where it meets the tranny(two bolts and you will only lose pressure until you put it back on, but kind of a pain). The header will pop right up in there.

 

You do not need to remove the slave cylinder or take the line off.

 

It should be just the same as installing a normal header....you just have extra piping at the end.
