So im buying obx r headers so i dont have to worry about pre cats! What is a list of all i need to get the job done?

 

obx r headers

 

I would either re-use the manifold gaskets already on the car, or purchase new ones, as well as the gaskets for the y-pipe to the cat. The ones that come with the OBX kit are cheapo's. Lot's of patience, lots of rust breaking spray lube, LOTS of cut-off wheels if you're in the rust belt. Also take your time and do it right the first time, and have fun.

 

thanks for the tips!

 

How was the install?

 

Im sure he hates life

 

Nope i love it the headers are great i stall is easy did it by mysef on the gorund just need proper tools, btw you can buy them off ebay

 

Sweet.. all other comments I've seen said otherwise

 

Depends on rust on your car... you will need a 17mm, 14mm and 13mm some swivels different size extensions... 3/8 and 1/2 sockets, deep sockets... hardest part was heatshield in the back... have time patience and lots of pb blaster other than that its really easy... remember you will need to cut the cross member... i used die grinder and make sure ifna bolt is rusted to go slow and untighten and tighten over and over

 

I can maybe help you by sharing how I did mine though they're cattman but I just disassembled them last night in under 3 hours. What I did was remove the radiator and fans takes almost zero time. Then pull the crossmember with the mounts still bolted to it. Just remove both bolts that slide through the center of each mount. Then the for that hold the crossmember on. Now you have a ton of space to work and it will cut your install time by a lot. I also took off my upper intake manifold to reach the top firewall header bolts. But I'm parting out and it was just easier for me probably not necessary.

 

So was there an increase in power after the install of the headers. Is the car louder or is it a more deep exhaust sound?

 

Power is great and you will notice i have a resonated test pipe and a 3" catback and i can i love the sound its not crazy loud but its deep. also its not annoying when cruising
