Factory headers

[Andres3165]

Does anybody have a picture of the factory headers off the car?

Also , if somebody removed it already, how hard was it?

Thanks

No pic's of the stock header but,,,,,,,,

Take a look in Matrixxx's threads. He home-fabbed some headers and there are some pic's there that might be helpful.

I haven't seen any good pic's of the "back" of the engine yet.

JMAC makes a header and there are a couple pic's of the header itself in one of his threads.

Do a search on "header" and you should find them.

For an OEM exhaust manifold, that looks pretty efficient. Are there any real gains in an aftermarket header?

 

[Andres3165]

Looking at ours under the car it seems like you have almost to drop the engine to get the headers off.

Any inputs?

Thanks

Hale motorsports removed the Header without any problem

At least did they have to remove the sub frame from underneath?
Thanks so much

As far as i can see, the subframe is in its place intact.

"I got the header in today, It was a bit of a job. Had to take out the RH axle to get the header in place."

To get of the axle you don't need to take off the subframe.
