Default SuperMAXX headers installed!!!

I gotta say, there is just something to doing your own work as opposed to lettin' someone else have all the fun....and $$$$!

I worked right off the directions and input from a few excellent posts on the forum. Thanks guys!!! All went very well! I found the toughest part was getting the wire harnesses up and out of the way. To get the drivers side header in you will have to have their car at least 23" from frame to floor, otherwise you can't get the angle.

The pass side dropped in AFTER I loosened the starter and, as I was advised, tightened the starter back up while the header was still unmounted.

With the Corsas out back it really sounds great. Next stop 3:90s out back. With good reason too. The l/s rear seal is leaking.

The fit and finish of the headers and related components were excellent. While it was up, I did an oil change and cleaned the air fliter.

I wish it was this easy 20 years ago!
