Thread: Any bad news about ssac headers?

Ok, I'll give you the TB Spacer...because it isn't discussed much...but dude, there are header threads EVERYWHERE on here.

But I'll link you this, since you must have missed it searching or researching: http://www.grandprixforums.net/how-i...hod-44126.html

Change out the clamps, replace the flex or it'll tick and read the thread by me on how to install headers the easy way.

Clamps, new oem exhaust manifold gaskets

whats wrong with Fel-pro?

Fel pro exhaust gaskets are thick and most of whatever they are made of sticks to the parts. I personally don't care for them. I like to wipe off and reuse the stock MLS gaskets

searching "ssac" wont find you anything.

You gotta type more words or even partial questions.

Like "crank sensor replace", "header info and install" , "CV axles replacement" etc etc

they are sucky flex pipes, what's so hard to grasp?

replace it with a nice triple walled one that you have to order from a legit source. you can't get a nice one OEM or at a parts store.

You need the band clamps with 2 bolts on them, 2 2.25" ones and at least 1 or 2 3" ones.

horse shoe clamps like to crush the metal.

Band clamps will grab the whole pipe and just squeeze it together, works alot better.

mine are 5 or 6 years old with no issues. Good product

band clamps all the way!!

Dear god, why straight piped?

Its going to sound like complete ass with no mufflers.

This.
I had mine straighted for like a day. Ears still haven't recovered completely

I believe he means straight pipe in place of the resonator.
