Go from the top. Remove motor mounts and take valve covers off. Jack motor about 1-2 inch and they'll slide right in. Thats for passenger side. Drivers side should go in from bottom > you should have no problems here! Good luck > your knuckles will pay a price! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Take the coil packs off. Headers go in from the bottom. The passenger side slide right in. The driver side takes a little more coaxing. You may have to pull the motor mount on that side and jack it up a bit to get those monsters to clear everything. It helps a LOT to get the car as high as you can so you can maneuver the headers underneath it easier. Good luck.

on either they slipped right on in for the most part, however we do have a private lift and it helps to stand underneath to work everything in. passenger side - unbolt the starter and it will clear all else. for the driver side it honestly helps to change your oil afterwards since its easiest to pull the oil filter. also unbolt the steering knuckle to give it the clearance. on top remove your plug wires, and coil packs (pull the bracket vs each individual), should only have to pull 6 bolts per side. was a snap putting on being done with removal of dynatechs and putting these on in 3 hours. couple beer breaks in between too <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
