Mine went in piece of cake. Keep an eye on the dipstick tube, can be a pain in the *** on some cars (took hours on mine, must never have been out). Might have to trim the block tab (tough to describe but you'll know exactly what I mean when you try and put the header in, should it not fit). Other than that, went in easy as hell I was very satisfied with my purchase. Good luck.

They should slide right in. I didn't have to remove or cut on anything to get them in. Just make sure you get the car high enough in the air and you should have no problems.

SHOULD, but not always, I was just letting him know that should it arise, nothing to panic about, and that he's not the only one it's happened to.

Word of advice Replace the plugs! It's soooo easy with the headers off. Also you might need a hacksaw to cut that tab off on the driver's side.

I didn't have to cut or bend anything. They slid in very EZ..if I didn't hold them up they would fall out on the floor..had to get the GF to lay under the car and hold them till I got some of the bolts started .. got over 100 K miles on the ones in the car with no problems ... a good value
