I NEED HELP QUICKLY! Well, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> quickly because of no emergency, but because i want my headers on already! How do you remove the stock exaust manifolts after you get the stock header bolts out. I know its stuck from the RTV adhesive gasket sealent on there.

Re: I NEED HELP QUICKLY! You sound like I did before I had my headers on all anxious! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> My .02, I was able to take the stock manifolds off with the cats still on, I hope that helps a little. Well heck, I used the gaskets supplied by FLP, well I'll probably have to swap those out for OEM gaskets (I didn't know the FLP gaskets were cheap) Oh yeah, I called FLP the other day, and they reassured me that the stock brace (G-load brace) can still be used along with longer bolts and spacers--no big deal. Love my FLPs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
