Thread: best headers

I love my ZZP's... TOGs are good as well

Well if it does you can buy another set of them for the price of the zzp ones.

like 5k

I had my heads off when I put the rear in so my install was not typical.

I too have SSAC's, and I've put maybe 1 or 2k miles on them. They aren't all that fun to install, you have to rock the motor forward and pull the valve cover off and wiggle and shove just perfectly and pull the tranny dipstick over.

It's a booger to put in but the power gains are worth knuckle bustin. I suggest picking up some nice band clamps and getting the DP welded, mine leaks like a son of a gun ( i can hear it) because i need another clamp for the x-over to the collector.

ALSO IMPORTANT!!!! Be sure to pick up an 02 extension harness for the front 02 sensor!

headers are all going to install pretty much the same. the only difference would be the downpipe area and how the crossover connects to the rear header.

i couldnt tell you i had somebody do it, wanted to do it myself but i didnt have the time. but yea bio is right they really are all the same installation wise, only difference is how you install the downpipe mainly

I have the SSAC put them on a while back and to get the rear in alls you have to do is rock motor forward and take the Trans dipstick out and they slide right in like no removing the Valve cove no pushing I tried for house and could not get them in. Took the dipstick out and they slid right in. I have about 10 thou on mine so far and I love them. Got the TDC FWI and thing sounds mean as hell now. I thought the same about the price and man they look good in there and they function well.

SLP's!!

i dont do slip fits. therefore the only headers i even debate against eachother are TOGs and S&S. slip fits are stupid.

its ok man you dont have to worry about slip fits w/your new car lol!! jk man i love my slip fits.

I love my cheap slps.

i love my pacerusters

Ok rarely anymore do I get a chance to read a full post on here but I had time today.

1. When installing SSAC headers, do yourself a favor and get it on a lift... do the rear header first from under the car, and let it dangle dont tight just yet.

2. Lower car, now its time to put the front header in, along with the crossover... make sure both collectors and xover are connected before tightening.

3. Tighten bolts on front and Rear. ( failed to mention motor should be rocked forward. )

4. raise car and connect dp to Catback.. this can be a ***** just grab the catback and pull it forward as far as possible and you will be able to attach the clamp.

5. Put clamps on DP and Xover.

6. Grind EGR tube down 1/8 of an inch to allow it to seal or you too will end up with a 6-month-EGR-leak-that-sounded-just-like-Lifter-tick-til-you-do-a-cam-swap-and-find-out-it-was-an-EGR-Leak

7. put everything back on double check then triple check every thing. then start. drive. enjoy...



hope this helps SSAC's are awesome and even more awesome for the price... consider yourself briefed

why would you install ANY set of headers from the bottom? they all fit going in the top.

The SLP's and SSAC's are ten times easier from the bottom up... trust me you S&S user you!!! but seriously they are a lot easier from the bottom of the car due to the dp/rear header combo...
