Need help, problems with FLPs! I just installed my flps and i'm having a few problems. First of all I can't get my air tubes to fit. I heard about the mix up with 98/99 headers being sent out for 01/02 cars but the mounting points of the a.i.r. tubes in the headers are in the correct location. Drivers side on second tube and passenger on first. My a.i.r. tubes still don't fit in correctly at all however! THe angles and height of the mounting points seem to be all wrong. Is there anything i can do? My other problem is that my passenger side header collector is resting against my floorboard. It's pulled against there so tight that i need a crowbar to pull it down far enough to install the cats or the offroad pipes onto the collectors. I'm sure this will cause lots of banging/vibration issues. What can i do? I'm about fed up with this and i'm tempted to pull these damn things off and send em back. If anybody can help or give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated...
Re: Need help, problems with FLPs! If the air tubes are 90 degree's off you'll need 98 tubes or try to heat and twist your's.If they bolt up right,then you still have to bend them a little to get them to line up correctly.(Bend them off the car)
As for the collector.I always leave the header bolts loose and hook up the rest of the system so they can move where they need to be.Try that! Also I find it easier if you bang the heat shield in where the collector clamp is.
Good luck!!!!
