Default AT Headers?

I have an AT LX I and I was once told that 4-1 headers won't fit an AT because the Trans casing is too large? Is this true for the 4-1 or 4-2-1 headers because im not sure which it applied to?

when you look up headers to purchase, they never mention anything about transmission types. sock this person in the face and stick a finger in his butthole.

Definitely will do and it's sad cuz the guy who told me this owns a racing shop. Horrible;( O and how long would it take 2 install headers? Lookin at the assembly it doesn't seem to difficult. I think it could be done in about an hour or so, am I way off?

Should be very quick and incredibly easy. The hardest part will be getting the O2 sensor out of the old header. If it's really rusted in there you may want to get a new one to put into the new header you're getting.

PB blaster is your friend. mine was just torqued on too tight. i took out my down pipe and taked my car up and placed it under the wheel to hold it when i turned. i broke the o2 sensor tool in half.

PB blaster may work. Try picking up an O2 sensor socket from autozone, it'll make life easier.

Those things are usually an uber-bitch to get out. I have 2 manifolds and 2 stuck O2 sensors. I loosen up the O2 on my turbo setup monthly just to keep it from getting stuck.
