Default Headers and Exhaust Tips..

Yo dudes,
What is the best way to install a 4-2-1 header. It is by DC, and I just bought it. I want to install it myself and some some dough, but I'll take any advises. What I need, tools, accessories, etc. Thanks.

umm i dont beleive its really that hard. jack up the car, take off the bolts that are connected to the block and the cat. accords. seem to have alot more room than normal so ya should be set. get some exhaust wrap wrap the header up before ya put it on. heh. while your near the cat too, ya should stuff the sucker out unless you get screwed by the emissions guy. Pennsylvania people dont have to worry bout that.

thats not true. if you have a stock mani without the heat sheilds on or wrapped than this may be the case...but not with an aftermarket header. My neuspeed N2 is cool to the touch in a matter of minutes after driving.
