Default QTP headers

Anyone know of a good write up on the QTP or Kooks header installs? Just got my QTPs and plan to put them in tomorrow.

QTP's should slide right in. Remove stock cat's, manifolds, and y pipe. Headers should slide right in. Just be careful, because you will have to get the car up high enough so that the headers can stand up on end (approx). A lift makes this job MUCH easier, but it can be done w/ jack stands. When bolting down the headers start on the inside bolts and work your way out. Torque spec is 18 ft/lbs, but it's mighty difficult to get a torque wrench on most of them, so most don't use one. I left my spark plugs with out any problems, but be careful not to get them snagged on the flange and break one if you leave them in. Good luck!!

Thanks. We have a lift so that will help. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to notch the K-member or mess with the steering shaft for the install. I'll post tomorrow once the install is complete. Can't wait!
