Nice, But you might want to add to dip a rage in WD-40 and rub the header down AFTER the install.. That way it wont rust and the oil from your paws wont burn into it.. Mine still looks new

Then spray some brake cleaner onto some paper towels and give the header a final wipe down, making sure to wipe everything. You do this because the oils from your hands will cause the header to discolour unevenly, once the engine is started. You do not want this. You want it to turn a nice even bronze after a couple kilometres of use.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I don't see why brake cleaner wouldn't work.

Give me a bit of time, I'm just waiting on my pay check to purchase more bandwidth.
Should be back up by the end of next week. Thanks for being patient till then.

I can't see exactly but if you have the factory exhaust manifold then you can't.

Yup, this will also heat-cycle the header so it becomes that nice champagne color .. WD-40 or engine oil wipe downs before start up (wipe on wipe off
).
