friend just bought a header set for his v6 accord. Wondering what needs to be done to swap them in. I know from last time popping his hood and looking at everything, is a very tight fit.
how to would be great

1. Unbolt old exhaust manifods.
2. Unbolt exhaust at the first pipe flange.
3. Yank old exhaust out.
4. Put headers in the same way the old manifolds came out.
5. Bolt up headers.

I've never done one, and I'm not trying to be an ***, but it cannot be that hard.

First, take the heat shields off. Then loosen the 5 nuts on each manifold. Raise the car if on a lift and undo the bolts hooking the b section from the cast manifolds. Undo the bolts holding the b pipe to the cat and remove. Now lower the car and remove the cast manifolds and install the gaskets and the new headers (do not tighten just run the nuts on a few threads in order to keep them on the studs). Then raise the car and Attach the new b pipe to the headers and the rest of the exhaust. Then tighten everything and you are done. Don't forget to take the o2 sensor out and reinstall in the new b pipe.

i know it can't be that hard but i bet it's not as easy as a d-series or b-series header install.

it realy isnt complicated at all. took me all of 45 mins to do it on the ground. 20 mins the 2nd time with a lift.

Its some bolts, the hardest thing you have to do is open the hood like seriously
