Just Put mine on the other day. Haven't turned the key yet , waiting on o2 sensor to come in. So excited.

 

Those bottom bolts were a PITA on mine.

 

Oh God yes! you just have to thread them in a little then set the header on top of them. I had to torque one by hand. The socket wouldn't fit.

 

One of the bolts is only hand tightened?? You're probably going to have a huge vacuum leak. Do yourself a favor and get or borrow some ratcheting wrenches they will make it so much easier as opposed to a socket wrench. That's how I got all mine snug.

 

you might want to check you local laws for how loud you can go. i have gotten about 5 tickets in the last 2 months for loud exhaust. im running a stock header no cat and a flowmaster all with a 2.5in pipe. loud as hell. mine is also fully welded up so i dont have leaks. well thats a lie my header needs to be replaced it has a small crack in it. thought about going with a pacesetter and run true duals

 

i live 50 minutes away from the closest city. plus cops are really laid back in nb (my opinion)

 

I'm running an APN header and 24" glasspack. Sounds nice

 

torqued by hand box wrench.
