Ebay headers help
Ebay headers help ok first off i understand the rules and am not trying to sell a non sponsored products. just need help
Iv had the headers laying on my bed room floor for almost 2 years now. i really want to get them on just cant bring my self to spend the cash to have someone else do it.
I feel like i can install it my self just have a few questions and may need a little advice from you guys as I install.
-Fist question is i have heard a lot of people talking about needing to cut a notch or something off the motor? (im not sure what it would be)
also is there a write up with some photos on the header install?
iv been soaking my bolts almost every time iv worked on my car the past year so im hoping they come off easy.

ive never heard of notching the motor. i installed bbk headers on my car in 2 hours. easy as hell. trick is to get the car as high as possible, i had a drive on lift so i kinda got away realy easy then most people on here who did it on jack stands. basic tools, a breaker bar and a lift is all you need.

You might have to notch K-member. Not everyone does but it happens. There are great write ups in the Gen III external threads with pics on doing headers with all possible problems you might run into.
AmarilloWS6 that write up is great do you have links to anymore? to just do headers im hoping i dont have to remove the alt or ac compressor i see he was doing alot of other stuff too so maybe thats something i wont have to move.
That's really the only one I've bookmarked because of the great descriptions and pics but it's recommended you change to poly motor mounts when doing headers, which is why he took the alternator and everything out, but just headers you shouldn't have to take that stuff out, the only thing I could see removing is the coil packs just to get in there easier

Get it up high, and don't smash the headers all up. Just when you think there is no way they are going to fit, they will slip into place. Most of them will go in better through the bottom. Get every littile bracket ,line, wire, clip, ect. out of the way. A rubber or plastic mallet, and a prybar is a must, just don't beat it all up. I run E bay exhaust and it all fit like a champ. Be paitent and it they will work.
Yeah, I'm taking the coil packs and everything off making as much room as possible, I'm pretty excited to do it, lol. Since I won't be running cats and all when I get it tuned can they tune out all the codes that'll get thrown permanently? I HATE lights being thrown on my dash, lol, some people have said you can't permenantly delete them and that they'll just pop back up sooner or later and others say you can completely clear them, I won't have cats, and I'm deleting the AIR and EGR so my dash is going to look like a Star Trek spaceship until I get it tuned, which'll be the day after install
install new motor mounts while your there. (now will be the time to do so)
i installed my ebay headers and they hit the k-member both sides.
drivers side was a pc of cake.i used my sharpie and marked the area that needed the work then i just i used a die grinder.
passenger side well as the new poly mounts settled in a little bit they started hitting as well.
so i loosened all the motor mount bolts and raised passenger side and did the same marked the area and used the die grinder.
dont be scared.

Yeah, I already have the poly motor mounts, the only thing I need now is the headers, which I'm getting in December, the MM's are the only thing I'm scared of trying to install, looks like a huge pain
