Passenger side Header install problem Hey guys,
So im almost finished installing my new set of headers but i have a problem. The passenger side header is so close to fitting in but the inlet is getting caught up on the intake manifold. i took the valve cover off but it still wont fit in right. any tips on how to get it in? They are pacesetter lt's btw.

Sounds like you are trying to go in from the top? If so, I've never known a pass. header to be successfully put in from the top. I'm pretty sure it is better to go in from the bottom and quite possible you will have to remove the pass. motor mount bolt and jack up the engine for clearance...
through the bottom. i recently tried to install some hookers through the top, and it was a no-go. pulled the starter and angled it in from the bottom, took 10 minutes of trying but it went.

Save yourself the cursing and swearing just remove to motor mount bolt and jack the motor up and it slides right in like a glove. Hands down best way to do IMO but everyone has there own way.
