k, I was in denial and didnt want to hear the truth....


but I HAD to remove the long tubes to reach the motor mounts, inspector gadget himself wouldnt be able to reach them...

The good news is removing the kooks was no were near as bad as removing the stock headers was....

Will be done tomro , gotta go buy new gaskets but im just calling it a night..

How long would you say it takes to remove and reinstall the headers?

If you are talking strictly header removal and replace(not putting in motor mounts) it should take between 1 hour and 3 hours depending on tools and if you have done it before(not including the time it would take to get the car in the air).

I have done it a couple times so I can have the car up, headers removed and re-installed in about 1.5-2 hours.
