LOL

yeah dude, i think you bought too many... you only need one header

 

Remove heat shields
Un-bolt stock manifold from cat (or b-pipe if applicable)
Un-bolt stock manifold from head
Remove stock manifold
Install new header in place
Bolt to head
Bolt to cat (or b-pipe/test pipe if applicable)

Don't forget to replace both gaskets and use plenty of penetrating lube. It's really easy.

P.S. I hope you only bought one header.

 

i only bought one....damn smart a$$es...lol.... dc 4-2-1...and since there are 4 pipes....i say it as more then one...i know a lil more than that....

 

to each their own but isnt that a waste of money for a CX?
I speak only cuz i had first hand experience with one.

 

Don't worry I say headers sometimes also.

How many actual pipes are welded to the flange has NOTHING to do with the proper term for it. Even if I had 150 pipes welded to one flange, it's still a HEADER. If there is multiple flanges for multiple exhaust manifolds (2 cylinder heads, etc), then it's HEADERS.

BTW, it's a bolt-on. Un-bolt, bolt it, go vroom vroom.

But sadly my pics are down..... ill switch servers.

 

make sure you tighten the bolts in a zig-zag pattern.. ha ha ha ha

 

It's an aerosal spary usually but with more of a "stream" tip then a "spary". WD-40 I guess would be the most recognizable, but it's not very good in the automotive world. WD40 is more of an all around lubricant, not very potent at desolving rust but works mostly for around the house type stuff. Go to any automotive store and buy a case. Most of the good stuff you have to order, but useally the stuff you find at most automotive stores works 90% of the time.

Wurth stuff works pretty good for me.

PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench.
