in garage on lift right now. this is sent from ls1tech app on phone. doing my first header install on my 94 Z. I'm a college student this is my first big mod.

how the hell do i get the header in place? I've tried down through the top and up through the bottom. it seems like the oil filter is in the way. can i just take it off? please help.

I had to take the oil filter, starter, and steering arm off to get my headers on.

Have the car on stands as high as you can SAFELY work on it. I had the rear on ramps the front on stand.

Remove Oil Filter,Starter, Steering shaft

Note i also removed the spark plugs, the reason is sometimes the header flange will bump a plug and crack it or break it off completely.

I did both from bottom, and i started with the passenger side, you might or might not have to make a tiny dent in the header tube to clear the k member, it just depends on what headers you have and how good your mounts are.

Take your time are wedge them up in their.

Pull the dipstick tube out.

When I did my headers, I took the large bolt out of one motor mount and loosened the other and I was able to rock the motor both ways and they fell in easy.

Honestly take out the steering shaft, the oil filter, dipstick tube, and i had to remove a motor mount. And if you dont drink this is something id advise getting a buzz before doing...
