Default dc ceramic header upgrade

how much of a challenge am i looking at with swapping the header. as you can see the bolts look seized. ive never really done anything more then changing the oil and electric work.

notice the dremel spots...

try some pbblaster(great for removing rust'ed bitch bolt)

make sure you have a new gasket for the head and catback flange.

if all else fail, use a torch+BFH

you shouldn't need a breaker bar, well, unless you are some emo kid that into darkness and mcdonald hang out

Your car will sound a bit deeper.

7hp? Nah. More like 2-3whp.
