Header Installation Question
I have headers and I wish to install them. Is it necessary to seperate the engine from the tranny and lift it to install, snake them in underneath the car, or snake them in from the top????? Suggestions please.

My 1 5/8 Hookers came in from the bottom. Just had to remove some plugs and linkage on the drivers side. The passenger side just slipped in. There should be enough room there to put them in without moving the engine or trans.
I'm hoping my 1 3/4 Hookers are the same.

[QUOTE=Kalway]What kinda headers? Engine does not need to come out or anything to put them on, generally. Might have to take out some spark plugs, though.
I had to raise my headers up from underneath.[/QUOTE
Dynomax,sending them out to be ceramic coated tomorrow.

Mine went in from beneath, I just got the car a foot or so off the ground. The higher you get it, the easier to install they are. The biggest ladydog was getting the old OEM manifolds and smog poop off...

Just get the front end in the air, crawl underneath and slide em up and bolt em up.
