If anyone is willing to help me finish installing my headers/ exhaust tomorrow early, I will pay you. I am having problems with the driver side header going in.... which is pretty much the only thing holding me back, let me know. Located in oviedo.

Iv seen cars where both mounts have to be undone, every car is different (somehow). Unbolt it and jack that motor up like another 1/2in and it will slide in.
