So anyways here's a little guid of how to install these headers without dropping the motor or taking of the radiator off. I'm just going to go over the stuff that gave me the most trouble.

It's pretty simple just hard to get to most of the bolts, it's a try and error kinda thing and you really gotta go under and above the car to get all of the bolts.




^^ this is a picture of the steering coupler, this one confused me for a bit but it just takes a little effort to take it off. You unbolt the bottoms bolt and just beat it upwards till it comes off.

getting the headers off was a struggle, we had to use 14mm sockets/ wrenches depending on which nut your going for. The heat shield was a 6mm socket and that was hard too. Like I said it's not a hard job, basic bolt ons just very hard to get to. Also when taking off the nuts from the header the bolts may come with it. DONT WORRY. Make sure you apply anti seize when reinstalling new headers. When taking out drivers side header take off some of the a/c lines you will need more room.

The header 02 sensors are most likely head welded on the header, I tore the threads taking one out and had to buy a new one.
