Default LT Headers and Clutch Replacement

Do Long tube headers installoed on an '03 coupe have to be removed to replace the clutch?

the headers themselves could stay, but the xpipe and everything else behind it should be removed

If you remove them it makes it much easier

Yes, you should disconnect them from the heads that way you can move them out of the way and give yourself more room to work. Replacing the clutches on these C-5's are not very easy...good luck.

But, can it be done without unbolting headers from the head?

Is it easier to just unbolt the headers rather than struggle to get to the clutch?
