TTS Header Install
Just got a set of TTS L/T headers for my 99 coupe. How much clearance is needed from below to do the install? Can it be done with jacks/jack stands/ramps?
Also, how major is the installation and how long did it take?

Re: TTS Header Install (wickedvette)
I was able to Install my TPIS from ramps and jackstands. Not sure on the install time on the TTS headers, I would say allow 4-5 hours !!!
Good Luck

Re: TTS Header Install
It may be possible, but I am sure a lift will be much much easier. You must loosen one rear motor mount bolt on the passenger side and raise the motor about one inch.

Re: TTS Header Install (wickedvette)
OK - We have the engine raised, valve covers off, coli packs off, battery out and have tried shifting the starter......still no go to get the TTS's in fron the top on the passenger side. We have scoped out putting in from the bottom but its looks even more hopeless.
Any suggestions????

Re: TTS Header Install (wickedvette)
You have to remove the starter and the three wires holding on it. TTS are a PAIN to install. Add on an extra 3 hours to install them compared to all the other headers due to the misc things you have to remove. Get the starter out and jack the motor up and it'll come out from the top. Barely.

I received a set of installatiom instruction with the TTS Headers, did your supplier not give you a set, that would have made the installation much easier!
If not blame your supplier! If you need a set, email me!
