Merry Christmas! your going to like the ARH's best fitting set of headers I have ever owned. Tip, remove the trans cross member and lower the trans a bit, go right in. don't have to remove the oil filter or disconnect the steering coupling

I have ARH on my TA and love them. You may still get a code with the O2's in. Has to do with them being moved further downstream. Messes with the reading that the computer is expecting if I remember right.

I installed my rear O2 sensors in my Jet Hot Catted Y-pipe.

I didn't need any extensions, so I don't believe you will either, in order for them to reach their locations on the Y-pipe.

I occasionally get an SES light. I believe it's PO420 , low catalyst performance or something to that effect. I erase the code and it may or may not show up again the next time I drive the car. Nothing worry about though. No loss of performance.

Be sure to post up when you complete your install. I can't wait to hear it. Good luck.

I have a set of o2 sims too, I am planning on plugging the real o2 sensors in, and plug the sims into the actual connector and then use some electrical tape to make it look like one unit, our air care system is run by idiots, so i am pretty sure that will fool them.

They do look nice.. I am a kooks fan but to each their own. As for the rear o2's just get them deleted. I too would like to here how they sound after you install them.

Passenger side in



I managed to get both sides in without removing the coil packs, and I also managed to use a torque wrench on all 12 bolts doing first pass 11 ft-lb and 18 on the second.but the last 2 bolts did take forever to reach those numbers.

It actually sounds quieter than my uncle's gt500 mustang and subaru sti.

Onto the cats and catback tomorow. I am having some problems trying to get the catted y on, the outside diameter of the header is almost the same as the catted y, would it be safe to heat the catted y with a propane torch to slide it in?

ran into the same problem with mine, ended up taking the Y pipe to a muffler shop and had them expand the joints so it would slip on easier
