header install!!!!!!!! what's up guys i have and o6 goat, and i just go some pacesetter lt headers. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to making this an easy install?
Pay someone.LOL Many write ups on this it's not the most easy nor for the faint of heart of the wrench. Look out for the power steering lines to the rack it's a really tight fit to put them back on. Some have dropped the front end out to make install easier. I have a pair of JBA shorties I picked up on a trade if you get disscouraged.LOL

1. Soak all bolts with PB Blaster the night prior to removal
2. Pick up an extra 02 sensor in case one of the OEM sensor's is cross threaded.
3. Use OEM gaskets for best results.
4. Secure the steering wheel (ignition lock or bungee cord).
5. Mark steering rack alignment with an awl/screwdriver - it will help with proper alignment when you bolt it back into place.
6. If your headers are coated, wrap them in plastic wrap (available at Lowes). This will help keep the coating from getting nicked up during install.
7. A crowsfoot wrench (16MM & 19MM) are handy for the PS lines
Research first, take your time, and enjoy!

I hope you got the V2....
because the first version had fitment issues...
It took me four hours to do mine...
make sure you cut down the two bolts on the passengers side
inner fender before you install them...
Take your time, have a few beers and have some fun.....it'll be worth it in the end...
