Header Help Please!
Hi Everyone,
I will be helping a friend with installing new headers and cats soon.
One of my conserns is the removal of the old header bolts. The car is an '04 C5 with 20k on the clock. Can I expect these to come out reasonably? I certainly do not want any to snap off. Any other comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Thanks everyone, that makes me feel a lot better. I will use the PB Blaster on all the nuts and bolts way ahead of time! How about those little bolts holding on the secondary tubes? Do you think it's a good idea to get rid of them at this time?

Just use a 6 point 10mm socket on the air tube bolts and you will not have any problems. Getting rid of the air system makes the engine bay cleaner and makes plug swaps easier. You will not see a power difference from it though. I would get rid of it now while you have a choice with the headers.
