Stock manifolds off---new plugs/wires before/after headers mounted?

That is the question!


I have new Taylor spiro-pro wires and plugs. My headers ( long tubes ) aren't here yet. Should I take my stock plugs and wires out and put my new stuff in or wait till the new headers are mounted. I can't remember what order is the easiest.

Thanks guys

wait until you install you headers...
you can/will break your new plugs while installing your headers... besides... how are you going to route the wires?

you can route the wires through the stock location now - I'd hold off putting in the plugs until the headers are in place as there is a lot of potential for breaking a plug trying to squeeze headers in place

However, it will be easire to do the plugs and attach the wires. once the headers are in place but not bolted to the heads.

bolt them down last

OTVC looks so good though and they still won't get burned.

Forget stock location with LT's. It's just not as good imo.
