Replacing SSAC headers flexpipe

[gtp02]

i just bought a zzp flexpipe to fix the ssac flexpipe tick. my car came with ssac's when i bought it so i dont know about getting to the flexpipe. what do i need to do to get to the flex pipe to weld a new one in? need help

Take it to an exhaust shop and have them weld it in, unless you have a welder.

i have a tig welder that im going to use. can i cut it out with it on the car? or would i need to remove anything?

You would have a hard time getting the torch all the way around to pipe with out taking the rear header off.

ive heard its a B**** getting the rear header on and off though. is there any easier was to do it? or any tips on removing the rear header?

Remove the front header and cross over. Remove the dog bones and rock the engine forward.

so its basically going to be like removing the headers and reinstalling them

could i use a mig welder? it would be easier than a tig to get up by the flexpipe..

 

[TheOtherNick]

It will not weld the greatest, but it will work.

 

[gtp02]

any other opinions? whats the easiest way to do this

Do it right the first time and take them off.
