Any bad news about ssac headers?

[szalajka05]

I just got my ssac headers yesterday and I'm just wondering if theres anything that needs to be done before I put them on. I think I remember someone saying to take the flex piper off and put a new one on because I guess they leak? any info would help, thanks.

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

[papaspanky]

whats wrong with Fel-pro?

[BillBoost37]

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

I did search ssac on here but I didn't feel like going through 52 threads...

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

whats wrong with the flex pipe they come with? i broke my stock flex pipe and replaced it with an OEM one and it broke also my buddy with a 1998 broke his too and they all leak

[Bio248]

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.

[JoRoW99]

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

[asite57]

well are the ones that come with the kit just as bad?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

horse shoe clamps like to crush the metal.

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

[01gpgt01]

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

[asite57]

band clamps all the way!!

[szalajka05]

I'm having a shop put them in because I'm also having them take the res off and straight pipe it also put two new tires on because their bald... Having them put band clamps on and install my high flow catalytic converter. Should gave it back by 2:30 today

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Dear god, why straight piped?

Its going to sound like complete ass with no mufflers.

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

[twiztid]

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