[jeg0024]

Just installed my header today, here are some install pics. I had made the non-fouler thing before I even got this so everything was ready to go. Enjoy the pics!

how long it take you to do the install?

 

[jeg0024]

About 2 hours, with a little help and the right tools it was fairly easy.

Thanks! Yeah it went well. The radiator...not as far as I know. Its been replaced once before though. Two front end wrecks, and it wasnt damaged in the last one.

It looks like a junk yard part hence the white numbers. It wasn't was hard as you thought it was going to be was it.

Nope, expecially with an air gun for the spring loaded blots, they came right off in one shot. Hardest part was getting the old s*** out. And it was so hard to have it installed and not start it up untill I got it cleaned good, but I did. lol

LMAO the two hardest parts for me as I told you were the spring loaded bolts under the car and unpluging the 02 sensors. Which I thought i was goign to break mine. I cheated to power toos for the win.

Dude, no one told me those sensor clips slid right off of that mount, they slid right off so you could hold them up and get a good grip on them. Yeah it was hard, one had sand in it, lol, but I got em good.

Definately more sound and theres more throttle response and more power for sure, not more off the line but its there when you jam on the gas after a tight turn or the such. Oh, and it takes longer to crank up I noticed? Just takes longer to build up back pressure because of the first cat being gone I guess. Engine seems to run more freely too, it hasnt been on the highway yet so ill let you know about all that stuff tomorrow night.

ooo shiny. I wish my Ractive header looked somewhere near as nice as all these OBX/thunder header pics I'm seeing.

and to think, pretty soon I'll be back to a cast iron manifold after being tubular for almost two years :'(
