Any tips on how not to ding up headers during install I just recently pulled the MAC's off my car and replaced them with the stock manifolds and y-pipe to get my car smogged. I'll be sending off the MAC's to Jet-hot to be coated and when I re-install them I would rather not ding and scratch them all up. Anyone have any tips on the best way to do this. TIA.

Re: Any tips on how not to ding up headers during install either pull the motor or just take your time and be carefull, mabey wrap the headers in some tape or cloth while you put them in.
Re: Any tips on how not to ding up headers during install Old towels and duct tape. We used those both. Wrap the headers with towels, secure with duct tape and put them in from the bottom...like you could get them in anyother way?!?!?!
