Start in the morning. Youll be done by nightfall. I did mine myself.

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:05 PM

im sure it would be a pain in the ass but i dont mind it id rather save the money and do it myself then spend the 150 for someone else to install
u know?
wheres the fun in that

One Bad Sixxx · May 13th, 2007, 05:06 PM

lol. well, even if youve never done such a thing before like a header swap, its pretty fun and you get to learn a shytload more on how what works.

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:08 PM

ESG-642T · May 13th, 2007, 05:09 PM

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:10 PM

One Bad Sixxx · May 13th, 2007, 05:13 PM

Well, now that I think of it. It may not take all day like I said before, mine took all day cuz we did my pullies too.

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:17 PM

One Bad Sixxx · May 13th, 2007, 05:18 PM

Well, I had to take it in for my gears and t-loc install. I wouldnt have known where to start. Yea, wouldve been a good learning experiance, but I wouldve done something bad.

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:20 PM

yea true

but ive done headers already so i should be good

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:22 PM

btw ur headers were cermaic coated?

One Bad Sixxx · May 13th, 2007, 05:27 PM

I dont remember. I dont think so.

Midnight Stang02 · May 13th, 2007, 05:32 PM

alright bc eveyone keeps telling me get ceramic coated bc they last alot longer

JASonic · May 13th, 2007, 10:22 PM

do you need to weld anything when you put in headers? How does the header connect to the exhaust? Am I right assuming that the headers connect to engine with just like a gasket and bolts???

Onemanzu · May 13th, 2007, 10:43 PM

their is a tech article off of the home page ... look on the left side... it is just pictures of AB doin it him self... with a friend of course but still

Midnight Stang02 · May 14th, 2007, 11:31 AM

nah you shouldnt have to weld nething should be bolt on

welll it was bolt on for the heasers that i did on me and my friends 88 trans am

GreenFaleen · May 14th, 2007, 11:45 AM

it is all bolt up if you have the flanges in your mid pipe, and get extra studs cause you will probably need them
