Header Help

Since the search function isnt working right now and I am planning on installing these headers sitting in my room within the next hour I just wanted to make sure of the tools I will need and how exactly to install them... any tips \ suggestions would be great.

They are OBX, I purchased from a board member used so they are already bent to fit. I just dont wanna screw myself over by starting and not being able to finish.

I just installed a greddy header on my car yesterday, and I think that the most important tool to have is a full can of liquid wrench.
Here is the rest of the list of tools you'll probably need:
14mm socket
12mm socket
ratchet with a flexible head, and a 10 inch extension for it

I think that is all I needed.

The biggest pain in the ass for me was getting the manifold detached from the downpipe. The three nuts holding the two pieces together were on there really tight. LOTS OF LIQUID WRENCH.

I hope it goes well for you.

EDIT: shit..I just noticed that you probably already finished with the job hours ago...oh well, I hope everything went well

You're talking about the 3.0, right?

If the bend is correct, and barring any unforseen problems, you can install OBX headers in several hours.

I would recommend having a helper. It just makes everything go smoother.
