ZZP headers ordered

[magnus]

I used this time to remove the egr and install a wideband while I had everything apart

 

[magnus]

hmm I'll have to try that then I'm assuming the motor has to be pulled pretty far forward to fit it through the top?

Yeah it almost touches the fans. I used 2 straps

That or pop the trans dip stick out. For SSAC/SD that's the trick. The instant that is removed, the header drops right in.

I was under the impression the ZZP headers generally require some bending of the trans dip stick to clear the header.

Yup, forgot to add that..

does the trans dipstick just pop out? because I can prolly get the header in if that's the case

One bolt, 10mm I think, then it pulls up and out

I haven't really drove it since I got them done the other day, it's rain and snow outside.

ya it's like that here too

so there's this thing at the end of the downpipe in the middle of the car on the exhaust it looks like a resonator or something I know it's not a muffler because there in the back of the car so when I get the exhaust connected should I delete that , will it free up and hp if I do and will it be louder? I just want power not loud

That is a resonator, keep it. You gain nothing by removing it, it keeps rasp down.

Its after the flange anyway for the cat-back, so just bolt it up like normal and be on your way.

 

[Ryan99639]

ok cool I'll leave it alone then glad I asked lol thanks

Make sure you have a oil catch pan underneath the car when you remove the trans dip stick some trans fluid could leak out just a heads up.

 

[Ryan99639]

ok thanks for the warning

Yeah I don't have one of those, I did 3 inch all the way out.

well all went good got the car started sounds great exept when I moved the engine back I'm pretty sure I bent something pretty bad because now my car won't turn the steering wheel is locked strait and I have to use all my strength to try to turn it, and I could not get the trans dipstick back in without bending the hell out of it now the stick won't go back in, I'm going to probably get an aftermarket trans dipstick as for the steering I'm scared to even look at it now I'm not new to working on cara eather so I didn't do anything out of the ordinary
