Ebay M20 Headers

[kamotors]

go ahead and start soaking the nuts in PB Blaster. keep them wet as long as possible. then when you get ready to air ratchet them off, an intense amount of heat will surely assist in removal.

already did:)

the neighbor, built an entire off road truck from the frame up so he'll help me.

well this sucks, i just painted the stock headers off the car and now these come along after they're all reinstalled and everything. damn i have to buy these with the money i just made. :(

Well I took the head off too so I just took the headers off with the head. But the six bolts that connect the header to to the rest of the exhaust I used a lot of combinations of swivel sockets and long extensions. They're a bitch, but not impossible.

Just fyi when i went to buy these just now the auction ended on ebay...anybody know where I else I can find them?

also what kind of sound and horsepower do you think these would be like with a stock cat/muffler. I have a mark d chip too...

I'm sure they'll have more soon it's a store not just one dude selling them.

Im interested to see how these line up with a stock system. Doesn't seem like you can go wrong for the price!

If you don't have A/C installed you might want to flip the oil filter/cooler housing as well while you're in there, makes it one hell of a lot easier to change the filter.

Like so:

okay headers on, but the cat and everything is off. the x-pipe will not connect to the stock system at all, also the bung placed the oxygen sensor way to close to trans pan, so I'll get another bung welded on when I take the car to a exhaust shop to get the cat section re-done. The headers bolted to the head just fine, touches the oil cooler line but very lightly. so I guess I'm driving open headers down to the exhaust shop:)still haven't started the car.

[kamotors]

whats happens if I drive to the exhaust shop with no o2 sensor hooked up?(run rich or lean?)

[nando]

forget about the O2 sensor, running open headers will make the engine run lean.

haha, got the car back home,(50ft of driving) its amazing sounding,hahaha I love it, now just need the muffler and cat put on. I've driven without muffler before and this is 10 times louder than that. throttle response was good even with out the o2 sensor. those were the only problems, bolted up to the head just fine, slightly touching the floor right now but fits good. Its worth the money, but the x pipe doesn't line up to the stock exhaust either. I say its worth it but took about 4 hours to get everything done.
