SD Headers installed and A+++++

[Spartan GL]

[matt5112]

I'm fairly certain its written on there

Id run stainless forsure, And the stepped ones seem to seal better then the flats. (ive used both)

But either can be used and will work correct??

 

[SilvaMan61]

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

Just make sure you later up the slips with some copper RTV

When I tightened up mine, they basically became stepped clamps.

Not trying to hijack, but does anyone know a good/proper way to clean these headers...Im not looking for them them to go back to factory shine, but rain water has begun to make'em look like sh*t.

Glass cleaner

I've always used Mother's polish on tons of things they even tell you not to use it for...and it works great...try that in a small spot and see if it works for you.

hmm i always thought there was no going back on those SD headers (ah... they looked soo shiney brand new)

 

[blueguy]

No, color wise your right, they won't change back since they are stainless steel...he was just trying to get rid of water spots

 

[Spartan GL]

yeah the header wrap covers most of mine. but im considering taking them off and getting them coated

 

[blueguy]

I wouldn't coat stainless...it looks awesome

 

[Colossus]

Plus stainless really doesn't need to be coated... or even wrapped for that matter.

I got my SD headers installed yesterday. The guys rushed it because they stayed after-hours but I'm going back tomorrow to finish everything up. Had some fitment issues on my regal where the crossover meets the rear header, so they used the u-clamp that came with the kit. fortunately no issues so far. Will hopefully post some pix later today. I noticed a big difference in throttle response, nothing else spectacular, perhaps after a pulley and good tune I should be on my way..

Have fun getting them back apart if they tightened down the horse shoe clamp like they are designed to be.

I know.. theres an obnoxious drone while cruising, im wondering if thats attributed to the resonator and cat delete.. its driving me :th_angry-cussing:

 

[SlprGS]

okay so after further inspection, i pinpointed the drone to the egr.. besides deleting, is there another remedy to correct the leak?
