RE: installing obx headers
i installed my obx header and downpipe 2 months ago at my friends house
it wasnt pretty
we took out the o2 sensors
and got the car a foot over the ground (we rigged jacks and jack stands for this)
after we raised the car we cut the pipe six inches behind the cat and unbolted and removed ththe cat from the manifold
heres where it got tricky
we then unbolted the manifold and it wouldnt come out from underneath so we tried to pull it out from the top and it still wouldnt come out so we took out the ignition coil(?) and it came out
after it was a matter of bolting, cutting and welding and it was done
keep in mind i am car part illiterate.............but this is how we did it...end of story
