remove the coil packs/rail assembly with a 10mm socket and this allows you to remove the last bolts from the top. A ratcheting wrench from Sears really helps too and should be no more than $8. Again, the key IMO to a smooth install is the removal of the coil packs.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll run out and pull the coil pack off, hopefully it'll work then! I'll keep you all updated, thanks a bunch for the speedy responses!

Well it's all off now, just trying to get the pass side header in... any ideas on how I can get it up even higher? my jack stands are maxed out =p. Does it go in from the bottom or the top? I bought a new set of stock gaskets, since they said they were the best, correct? Any help would be appreciated .
. Long tubes go in from the bottom.
Did you jack the entire car up and put it on 4 jack stands? That will give you a little more height. I have some big stands so I dont have this problem. You can pick them up pretty cheap from Harbor Freight.

I put the car (tires) up on solid cement blocks when i did it. and after the jack couldn't go higher i put it on blocks too. the big jack stands should be enough though. Just be careful. And both headers should go in from the bottom.
