Just remove plug and wires first also have to unbolt steering rod to put new headers in place.

Maybe with pacesetters...you shouldn't have to with kooks

Where do you live at?

I live out in Sugar Land.

Header are easy to install.
Remove the bolt with a ratchet wrench.
Remove oil dip stick and steering shaft.
The header drop out of the bottom of the car.

You may need to cut and weld. I know the pacesetters with the offroad connectors went on perfect, and although they looked larger, they lined up with no issues, basically perfect.

Finished install last night, currently at the muffler shop to cut and weld the stock exhaust


is having some problems
-service airbag light is on
-none of the steering controls works

When you disconnect the steering shaft, Did you spin the steering wheel? That will break the clock spring.

Check the fuse box under the rear seat.

I live off 59 and hwy 6. Not far at all.
