Installing Momentum Headers

Rusty · 02-14-2013, 02:34 PM

Wonder why the differences?

DEpointfive0 · 02-14-2013, 02:36 PM

2009 vs 2011?

Must be. Kinda silly that it isn't keyed on mine lmao.

New update, the passenger side header flew off! It was a piece of cake, except for the fact two of the studs came out with the bolts, and i rounded off one bolt on the back side of the cats... Attempted to cut it off with my dremel to no avail, so i just took the y pipe, cat and header off as one piece

I should have just done that in the first place... Tomorrow i will begin the install of the new headers, TPs and CBE

I already installed one 02 sensor on my z1 test pipes. I also purchased bung extenders, and was wondering how much steel wool i should put it them, and what type? I purchased fine grade steel wool, and packed a pretty good amount in there... I actually had to stop and take some out twice, is this a good amount? Thanks!

Mine was keyed but my steering wheel did a full spin for whatever reason. Slip light was on but just had a shop reset it rather then actually re-adjusting it lol. The wheel was straight and driving straight since the computer read it was a full 360 degrees off exactly lol.

Ummmmm i lost count! But i have only been putting in 45 mins to an hour everyday. I probably have about 5-6 hours invested of actual wrench time, not including breaks, but including the friggin 2 hours wasted on the heat shield on the drivers side

Little update, having a very tough time getting the header in. I called Z1 since they have done the install and they said i have to take all the head studs out... This should only take another 2 hours :-(

Sorry brother... If I was any closer to you I would've loved to help

AlexRaymond19 · 02-15-2013, 08:03 PM

It actually was not too bad, got the header on, just have to finish bolting it down. I'm really shooting to be done in about 2 hours, but i might have to run to the store to grab another u joint...

AlexRaymond19 · 02-15-2013, 09:37 PM

I am seriously thinking about wheeling my car outside, pouring gas all over it, lighting it on fire, and collecting the insurance money... Would probably be easier

Reading this thread is like reading a "comedy of horrors".

Hang in there. It will be done before you know. And you will be very happy listening to it fire up for the first time.

Look at it this way. What you are doing is a character builder.

I feel my idea was easier lol. I unbolted the motor mount and raised it a bit to get more clearance to slide it in. Worked like a charm and i didn't have to remove a single head stud lol.
