Default Header install.

I have a 95 civic DX and I wanna install my DC Sport 1-piece header by my self rather than paying someone to do it. I was just wondering its a pretty easy install right? I basically left up the car put jack stands under it. Unscrew bolts off the stock header starting with the downpipe. Then take the sensor and stuff off, and put the new header on? I also bought a new gaskets to replace the old ones. Is that all there is to do, any hard parts to it?
Also, I hear that some people get a CEL when they do this..what should i do to avoid getting that?

That's pretty much it. When you take the o2 out of the header, be sure it doesn't get all dirty. I've never heard anything about getting a code from a header. Just reset the ecm if you do. You should anyways.

As of this moment, im trying to get my header off, but those bolts dont wanna move. I sprayed tons and tons of wd-40 but still no luck. How did some of you guys get those bolts off. Right now im down towards the cat and trying to take the downpipe off.

try using a torque wrench, or use the big ratchet.

if you let your engine warm up a little, the bolts will be easier to get off. just dont burn yourself
