:wtf:
I know your just joking, it's all gravy. Nah man, im just motivated now, it's almost spring time, my car was looking tore up, it had black primered fender, hood and front bumper, not to mention all the dents/dings and scratches. It was long overdue, the other stuff, I been finding some sweet deals and have been taking advantage of em.

KAUAI KANE-good luck it shouldn't be that hard doood
it wasn't what I would call hard, it was more, irritating. See below for how it went.

ahahaha, you like it huh? Now I can't wait till our next HAN meet, hopefully it'll be up in this area instead of down by Pleasanton.

Well folks, I came up short on my attempt today. I couldn't get the 3 bolts that hold the header to the downpipe. I need to get a long extension to be able to get to them. I could get my rachet on them, but there was no room at all to work the rachet. So unfortunately, the stock header remains for now. Im gonna get an extension and get my dc header on there next weekend for sure, it should be loads easier now that I have removed and put back on the bolts and stuff.

not to burst ur bubble or anythign but if u can manage it get the SS DC 4-2-1 header instead unless u already have the CC one. the SS one will be better especially in the winter months many people i know have cracked their CC ones. ur car isnt low enough to worry about denting it right now but the hot/cold, expansion/compression that results in the winter months is what cracks most of those headers when they are CC

the bolts are actually a bit easier to get off when theyre a bit warm. (like 150 deg warm, not 400deg like rite after uve been driving)
