Hey guys! This is my first time actually making a thread. I have been searching for a few hours and can't find anyone talking about the actual install of these headers. A couple references, but nothing in detail.
I'm having a hell of time installing these guys. I've only worked on the passenger side of my X-Runner (2008, btw) so far. I've removed anything that could potentially come into contact with the headers while trying to position them in from under the truck (including Y-Pipe, hanger that attaches header/manifold to Tranny, electrical lines from above, intake from above, and some other misc brake/electrical lines, ect). The only thing that is in the way is the actual header studs coming off of the engine. It keeps hitting those or the strut tower assembly (stock struts).
Basically, who has installed these and did you have a hard time fitting these in? Do I have to remove my header/manifold studs from the engine block, fit up the headers, and then re-install the studs and then bolt headers to block? Thanks guys!
I love the look of these (besides all the scratches to the ceramic coating that I caused while trying to fit them up). I can't wait to feel the power gain and a meaner sound!
