Question Question on Installing headers

why does the car need to be jacked up in order to take out the rear exhaust manifold and put on the rear header? Also, how from the picture on comptech's web site, it looks like it will be pretty hard to reach the bolts which attach the rear header to the A pipe with my wrench. How do you do it?

I saw my installer do it, they used a long ass extension and wrench. Looked pretty aggravating.

I installed the headers myself on my V6 Accord. You'll need the car up on jacks because you'll need to get to the bolts that mount the y-pipe to the 3-in-1 pipes (which you'll need to use extensions)
