Header Install

zerofx150 · October 3rd, 2007, 08:22 AM

So far we have the k member out and the midpipe, this is not a hard job just time consuming, we worked on it for about three hours last night, i'll try to get some pics of the progress today.

wut kind of headers... equals,shorties, longtubies?

1slowsohc · October 3rd, 2007, 01:18 PM

+1 is just very time consuming

are you putting the stock k-member back up or are you swapping that to while you have it down, definitely alot easier with that big chunk of metal outta the way i just took my long tubes off a few weekends ago and with my tubular k-member the only thing i had to take off to get them out was the starter i was pretty surprised plus that damn top bolt on the starter is no longer an issue gettin on n off lol...good luck with it man

MAC LT and a BBK o/r H pipe that i had ceramic coated inside and out. I wanted to do the tubular k member but money did not permit it, plus the wife demanded that i get the headers out of the chair.

dont you have to remove the motor mounts + lift the motor to remove the k-member? seems like too much work for 15 hp.

Ya lose 65 lbs by replacing the OEM K member Jegs has a good one for about 250.00

zerofx150 · October 5th, 2007, 04:11 PM

the passenger side sucks my sack, but they are in i just gotta put my springs back in, and button everything else up

1slowsohc · October 7th, 2007, 04:56 PM

yea i bought the whole kit from upr for 700 i think n did the longtubes and that at the same time definitely was worth it i mean shaved 100lbs give or take and now changing the starter is no issue with that top bolt lol and pullin the headers back off u dont need to pull the motor or drop the k member i had plenty of room...glad u got it done tho got some band aids for the busted knuckles lol
