how big the problem with the headers? could you connect all bolts and nuts before tightening?

Wow i know how u feel its a very very pissy feeling i can relate to the open header and it sounded like the biggest pos so i got it towed to a shop and got them to do it . I found that if u dont have the right tools or a lift well u spend 12hrs underneath a car for nothing . I feel ur pain

Are you sure you have correct front and rear headers?

At first when i was doing the install on the stone headers it looked like the downpipe was going to be really really close to the oil pan but after a little bit of moving this and that it some how had alot of clearance between the header piping and the oil pan . I just need the shop to tighten up the bolts and nuts . Just call around and see what install price is I got mine done for 75 bones .

oh..yea..are you suppose to tighten up the bolts to the headers first then add on the downpipe..or would it be better if i kept the headers loose and bolt on the downpipe?

I very loosely bolted everything together and made sure it fit, then I tightened everything down.

but then again,
