    After months of dicking around with SD, SSAC actually came through for me.



    Feels good to know that I'll be able to starting working up my car finally, after having sat on the parts for damn near 4 months now.

    Hardest part of the install should be connecting to the stock 2.5" piping. I had ensured before I started that I had a 3 ID to 2.5ODm, the two additional clamps and a pipe spreader on hand. It went smooth. You shouldn't even have to touch the subframe to install the rear header. It'll wiggle right up and in from below.

    If I don't have the **** on hand, I'm just going to run them open for a bit (that won't necessarily hurt anything, will it?)

    Only thing I had to do to install mine was to remove the trans dip stick. I fought the rear header for hours until I popped it out and it slid right in.

    I'd love to see pictures of this being installed. I've been thinking of possibly getting headers installed in my car but wasn't sure how hard it is to install them. Didn't want to have to take the car somewhere to get them put on but it sounds like I wouldn't need to.

    Make sure the bolt holes in the gaskets match the both holes in the headers...

    Sweet thanks! Sounds like they shouldn't be very difficult to install.
