Thread: Header Install this weekend.

Hey guys, long been awaited header install will take place this weekend. Keep in mind that these headers are the Xtune Headers.... Reptile, Abrasive, and myself will be installing these on Saturday, I will be sure to take lots and lots of pictures, so everyone can see exactly how they fit and what troubled areas we may run into. Some things we've already noticed are, the header bolts that come with these headers are too short... if you buy these then you will want to purchase new header bolts at 5/16" thread pitch, 18 threads, and 1" long. Also you will want to pick up "Mr. Gasket" brand copper 3", 3 holed header flange gasket, for the y pipe and reducer flange, you will want to pick up some "scott seal" brand slip joint band clamps. ( get those from Reptile, and I believe zzp sells something similar). the bolts and header flange gasket can be found at a local orielly's or AutoZone, probably even NAPA. well stay tuned as I will be posting more information this weekend. as always have a good day!

nioce man good luck...ur gunna love having headers

yes, yes I am lol

Alright Riley Can't wait I have been waiting on this for awhile to make or break the Xtunes :P

Im pretty sure you'll want them. lol

Yeah they are cheap lol, but how much all together did you pay after you had to buy the new gaskets,slipjoints, and bolts +cost of headers? Lol sorry if it's a lot of work but I want to know so I can have all cash ready when I start buying for MOD day :P

236, headers shipped, 30 for header flange gaskets and bolts, 15 for the slip joint clamps, and 15 for both the manifold gaskets so about 296, or 300 lol

PS. Dinner for Brian and Jay, TBD.....

Perfect Now I just need to see how install goes and see if I can do it in the shop or if I will have to get another shop to do it

WOOT WOOT 12 hours!!!

My advice.... unless you have access to a welder, bender and all the other stuff to make a completely custom set of headers yourself in the first place, stay far far away from the eBay headers. Well Riley, that was an adventure.

oh man. got anymore details?

i concour. how bad was it??

sweet, take pics... wish i had people that lived near me that could help me with this kinda stuff. me and kingd44 are basically the only long island guys

So i'm guessing that it was a huge pain in the ass Jay? Not worth the money saved?
