Header Installation 99 coupe A4
Waiting for my set of LG Headers and Cats to come in ! I'm looking at installing them in my garage at home. Is there any tricks to do this ? I have read a few links about the installation and the only hold up might be getting the Vette high enough to put the one header in from under ? Any Help or ideas would greatly be appreciated Thanks ...

Have fun and you will enjoy the new headers! Plus sometimes and most of the time you will need to remove or loosen the Alternator and perhaps remove the Valve covers!

I just installed my Lg headers this past weekend. It is very easy just follow the instructions on lshowto.com and you'll be fine. I used two 3ton jackstands lifted the car up front about 18" and they went in just fine, no problems what so ever. Make sure you pick up the fbody round gaskets from gm, and oh yeah almost forgot TAKE OUT YOUR SPARK PLUGS, its going to save you a headache afterwards. Also Anthony from Lgmotosports was really helpful, answered all of my questions
Good luck

I installed my LG Pros about a month ago. Take your time, follow the directions posted above and you will be fine. I replaced the plugs, wires and heat shields while I was at it. My headers slid right in on both sides (still amazed at that one). Be careful reinstalling the header bolts. I had one (driver’s side against the firewall) that did not want to thread straight. I had to go buy a tap and take some time to re-tap the hole. Other than that everything else went just as planned.
You are going to love what the LG’s do for the car.
