Does anyone have know of the best way to install these headers? ie.... what do I remove from the car to get them in, puting them in frm the top or the bottom?


Thanks guys for your help.

Remove Steering linkage (2 bolts)
Remove manifolds and y pipe
Remove Starter
Remove Alternator
Remove Air tubes
Remove spark plugs
Both will go up through the bottom.
I had to jack the engine up. Removed the passenger side engine mount. Made it possible to get the header in.
You need two 24inch o2 extensions.

Ratcheting wrenches, and universal/flex sockets and joints make the job easier.


This is a 2 person job really..

drivers side header goes in from the bottom, and the passenger side header I put in from the top...?? that is the only way I could see it fitting on the passenger side. and you have to unbolt the motor mounts and jack the engine up. and watch out for the oil pressure sending unit and the water temp sensor, I broke both when installing the drivers side header!!!

Just finished mine yesterday . Passenger side I removed sparkplugs , motor mounts lifted the engin and slid the headrer in . The driver side , all I removed was the stering linkage and the oil filter and slid it up from the bottom , did'ent even have to jack the motor up . If you want go to the force induction section and you can see asked the same question a couple day's ago and read there replys.

Hey Ben383 i check out your other thread thanks, question how did you know your injectors were firing wrong?

Ben383

That was'ent me , I belive you're refering to SSR . I know his car was at Force fed performance and they were cheking it out for him .I believe they found the problem with the injectors misfiring or something .
