Exclamation ARH instal on 99 C5

I'm thinking of picking up a set 1 3/4 size. How is fitment with these bad boys? I remember when I did a Pacesetter LT header instal on my 00 Camaro. They went in like butter! The y pipe that's another issue I won't get into.

Mostly I'd just like to know if anyone has done a ARH instal and if they have anything to point out.

Thanks!

Yea, I've installed them back and forth a few times on our C5. The key is to get the car up high enough to where you can slide the headers almost 90 degrees on both sides from underneath with the collectors pointing straight down. I had more working room when I removed the alternator also. Removal of the starter is a must. other than that and a few cuss words, you'll be fine.

You can install them both from the bottom, or just the drivers and try the passenger side header from the top. This will require removal of the passenger side valve cover, the header may still hit the starter. If it does hit the starter, you will need to remove it or unbolt and move it an inch or two, only two bolts secure it.

I just recently put some arh headers on my 99 c5 that come off my friends 00 c5 and we had some problems getting the passenger side header in. We had the car high enough and we jacked the motor up and did some forcing but got it finally

Note - make sure you get the car SKY high if your doing it on the ground. I mean, jacked WAY up.
