Default If you installed your exhaust header yourself...check in here.

After reading up on other people's experiences installing headers on a 3rd Gen Integra, I've come to this conclusion.

The experience breaks down two ways:
A) The process is simple and easy, with no gaskets torn, no head studs snapped and no exhaust rattles or leaks.

B) The process is long, painful and arduous. Snapped studs, torn gaskets, exhaust rattles and leaks aplenty.

How did your experience go?

Since my OEM header has been on for eight long years, I'm questioning whether it is worth my time to wrestle with rusted bolts. Also, I'd need to buy a Oxygen sensor socket, which I doubt I'd use again.

If my local shop wants $45 for the install, I can earn that money back in 3 hours. If I waste those hours fighting my way through the install, I'm losing money in the end.

So anyway, if you can speak to this topic, please share.

:cheers:
