Header installation

I just bought OBX racing headers for my 01 CL-S and I was woundering if anyone knew of any good places that they would recommend install them for me because I havent found any places that will install them from where I from? I live in Stow Ma

DIY isn't that hard, but you will run into some issues. Getting some of the old rusted bolts off required a trip to Midas for us. Specifically the ones ont eh cat. If you love in Stow MA, your bolts are definitely going to be rusted. ALso, we had to drill the new header holes a little to get them to fit. I don't know any shops out there that will do it. You might want to ask at your local muffler shops. Sometimes they will install aftermarket parts, sometimes they won't. There are some shops in Boston that can do it if you want to make the trip. PF modify in Allston?brighton is one. They seem to have prettyy good labor rates. Good luck.

I don't have any personal experience with them. All the work I don't do, I go to a VW/Audi specialist for. But I've heard good things about them. And they seem to quote very reasonable labor prices. They are right by RPM motorsports...right off Brighton Ave. Call them up and see if they will give you an estimate over the phone. You're other option is to try to get some local guys together to help you out.
