Nice work! Did you have your OBX headers coated?

By FAR, the hardest part of installing my headers was removing the friggin heat shields from the stock manifolds. That took HOURS.

The headers were a piece o' cake (once I realized NOT ALL of the flange bolts were going to fit!:p)

Really!?

Mine are early Stainless Works headers. Some primary tubes curved so close to a bolt hole that they prevented a bolt from being inserted into the (1/2" thick) flange. At the time I seem to recall asking someone about it and whomever it was had the same issue and told me not to worry about a couple missing bolts as the flanges were 1/2" thick and wouldn't warp.

Are your headers by SW or OBX?
