the hell is a breaker bar and pb blaster?? damn i hope this isnt too hard, im limited on tools and im not that great at cars to begin with...i was thinking of having a place install them but i wanna save that money and also learn something by doing it myself...

breaker bar = a pipe u can put around your socket wrench, its for leverage

PB Blaster = rust killah, gets your bolts loosened up cuz they will be rusty as hell

pb-blaster is so much more superior to wd-40 for helping to break nuts loose. well worth the money IMO

Hop over to your local dealer and pick some up, should'nt be that expensive. Might as well do it right the first time.

i reused my old ones with no problems.

[bronxbombr]

Did the headers come with the downpipe or are you gonna add as you go along?

[The F.B.I]

can't wait to see, don't forget to post pix

im gunna add as i go along...i heard of a lot of fitment issues with the OBX downpipes, so im gunna experiment with the short header first and just add things as i go along...

[bronxbombr]

True.

[Danger DANJ]

I don't know about the 4cyl, but on the V6, there are no bolts. There are studs and nuts. You have to take the nuts off... and if you break a stud while doing so, well, it will really suck having to pull the stud out and replace it.

You might want to get a new gasket. I wouldn't reuse use the old one.

oh boy im hoping for bolts...the headers came with a new gasket, so i dont have to reuse the old one.

[galant_got_speed]

i actually had another quick question..i couldnt really seem to find much on search on this...but the headers are going to shift my powerband from mid to high RPM's right? so ill get better top end but suffer on the bottom...but i dont care cuz i dont streetrace, just open highway...

[galant_got_speed]

Ok guys i just sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster, also picked up a cheap tool kit to keep in the G for emergencies and stuff, hopefully im mechanicly inclined enough to do this right...
