Clutch install with TPIS headers
Getting ready to replace clutch, will my TPIS headers have to be removed? Thanks

I have Kooks, not TPIS, but I didn't have to remove them completely. I did have to loosen them though. I ended up taking out all the header bolts but one. I left it in to hold the Headers out of the way.

So you are saying you unbolted them from the heads? Looks like I need to get some exhaust gaskets. Any suggestion on gaskets?.
Thanks

yes, from the heads, and just let them hang. if you have these headers, you should have 2000 camaro gaskets that are round, not oval

Check your torque tube bushigs while you are at it. Change out the hydraulics and get a remote bleeder too.
Good Luck

Will check the bushings once apart. I plan on replacing the slave and adding a remote bleeder. Is there any reason to replace the master?
