Fbody Dynatech driver header help!!!
Fbody Dynatech driver header help!!! So today I was installing the dynatech headers and completed installing the passenger side, but when I went to the driver side that dam header did not want to go in. From the bottom the last tube kept hitting the corner of the trans (6speed) and like the sticky said they go in from the bottom but I tried a
From the top and had more luck just that the driving shaft or steering something was a bit in the way then went back to the bottom same thing kept hitting that corner were the the car floor angles and the trans then it fell on me and I called it a day...help

Re trying now and saw the firewall was the culprit and the k member I'm trying to massage the firewall a bit and see if I don't have to grind the k member it clears the motor mount and the small tab on the engine most say may need grinding also clears
Does anybody know if I can lower the k member from the driver side just by disconnecting all bolts from there and the mount plus some from the middle, but leave the passenger bolts untouched
Well its finally done here is some pics for the ones that might need it:

I think you have the wrong Dynatech header model...
the F-car Dynatech Supermaxx header model will fit right in very easily (remove engine oil filter first) without any of the problems/massaging you're experiencing..

everyone said that about kooks, too...but i had to go help a friend put a set on a 01 ws6. same issue. header just was not going in. we got it, but it wasn't as easy as the interwebz portrayed. fyi i've done maybe 10 header installs. by far the kooks install was the worst.

There is a difference between the Supermax and non-Supermaxx headers from Dynatech.

). Anyhow, I never had the problems you mentioned. It was absolutely mandatory to remove the oil filter to install them, but other than that.... I had them in place in under 10min. Installed both from underneath the car.So.... not really sure what was causing your issues
Oh, as others stated. The coolant Temp sensor you broke is needed. The PCM uses it for fueling calculations. Car will be all f'd up if you run it without.
