Default Speed Engineering Headers Install

Anyone know where I can find a detailed video about the speedengineering 1-7/8 inch headers on a 2011 grandsport with the dry sump system. I have heard you have to remove oil lines and I wanted to see if there are any videos out there showing that process.

Not speed engineering, but same process shown here.
I am sure I talk a bit on the video, but should be a decently detailed video for what you need

I think I saw a video this past fall, linked in this forum, of someone that did the SE headers and x-pipe on his car. He couldn't get the axle back lined up right, so he took it to an exhaust shop to correct the crappy fit.

I will dig around for a few minutes and post a link to it if I come across it again.

Found it:

A header install should be the same regardless of the brand, so I would check out U tube for related videos. Some header brands ( Kooks ARH) fit better & make the installation easier though

Yea I was just specifically looking for the header install on a c6 grandsport with the dry sump because I know you have to remove some oil lines to get the headers in.

Did you watch my video? I clearly outlined the specific hang up spots on a dry sump car
