putin in headers need help Whats The Trick To Takein Out The Stock Header Theres Like No Room I Got The Drivers Side In Replaced With A Slp And I Cant Even Get The Stock Header Off The Passanger Side Whats The Trick
Theres really no trick to it. Basically you have to move the manifold around till it just falls out. This is where many years of tetris will help. Having a friend on the bottom to help guide it also helps alot. Just keep at it and you will get it then that is when the fun starts. Ohh now that Im thinking about it I think we removed the dipstick when we did my friends. Might give that a try.

I have an 02 (so they are on a rail) so I un-bolted every bolt except the last one and then pushed the rail upwards out of the way. On yours just pull the back coils off.
I actually found it easier to come from the top for the back bolt and just reach all the way in.
I also left the cats bolted to the manifolds (since it is well known those bolts will break easily) and once the manifold was unbolted the assembly slid right on out.

take to coil packs off for sure (AND THE DIP STICK SLEEVE), it makes the whole process alot easier if you un-mount the motor and jack it up a few inches, A WHOLE LOT EASIER.... beer makes it easier too, and more fun.
