Default LG Streets in from top or bottom?

I just bought a set of LG street long tube headers. Will they install easier from the top or bottom?

I think we went in from top on passenger side and had to remove valve cover. The driver side went in from bottom. Hope this helps!

They can go in either way, but if you have the room installing them from the bottom up makes for the easiest way.

If you have any questions, always feel free to call us here at the shop!

Thats what I did, had to get the car about 19 or more inches off the ground to get the drivers side in. Not too bad at all. Don't forget the ground wire, it does have to be undone. And, I undid the sensor on the top of the oil filter as well. I also found it easier to remove most of the AIR tube on the drivers side as well.

I did passenger from top, driver from bottom; loosened and dropped the subframe for clearance, removed groundstrap and starter. With my jackstands, I could only get my car ~16" off the floor.... damn, I hope there wasn't an easier way I somehow missed
