Default Re: Header install tips and tricks??

I know I shouldn't speak to this because my headers are still in my living room, in the box!

....but when I was doing my shocks & had the wheel well liner panels out I was marveling at how I could actually see the exhaust manifold flange and how many bolts the factory couldn't get in!

The dipstick tube bracket may not work in the OE configuration.
Watch the steering shaft clearance.
Extensions for the O2 sensors.
Wrap the clutch hyd line from heat, and wrap any electricial lines from the heat, my thinking is the heat shields are now gone??
yea, pretty feeble! That's all I've come up with except for fitting the rest of the exhaust system to the collectors but I think that has to be done one a case by case deal.
