Somewhere along the lines of this...

well i have them in and now my car wont start, i have a coolent leak. my trans dip stick fell out. my coolent is mudd... **** my life

well, you shouldn't have had to touch anything with the coolant/oil when installing headers unless you took the throttle body off but that does not explain why coolant looks muddy... Is it your trans fluid??? and the dipstick is held in by a small nut, if you cant see it, try going underneath the car and lining it up...

when i put the headers on, i started the car and it died, i didnt have the motor mounts in so i thought maybe thats why it died, but when i went to start it again it just cranked

you have had the car for four months and have never looked at the coolant before? I assume you can just drain this, flush it good and refill it if it is not a oil/coolant leak and is just a dex cool mixing issue........
