1 7/8" American Racing Header install
I've heard the 1 3/4" American Racing Headers install very easily. I bought the 1 7/8" and wanted to know if they are much more difficult to squeeze in.

The install wasn't that bad. The driver's side slipped right in. The passenger side gave me a little more trouble but still not bad. I disconnected the starter wiring to install it and I think the hardest and most painful part of the install was reconnecting everything once the header was in.

I didnt touch the motor/motor mounts when I installed my 1 7/8 ARH. The driver side went right in...the passenger side, I had to remove the starter and once the header was in I dropped the header down a few inches to slip the starter back into place. I also removed the coil packs to give me more working room, plus they are easy to get on/off

Did they both drop in from the top ?
