Looking to get headers or a y-pipe and wondering how long it would take to have them installed.

 

Headers a good 6-8 hrs, pretty seasoned mechanic. Y-pipe, 1-2 hours for the normal do it yourself-er. I got my 2nd y-pipe installed in about 1 hr, the first one I ahd a shop do it. . .

 

is there any kind of existing write up on the header install? i've got the obx headers and would like to put ehm in soon!

 

Headers 12 hours
Y pipe half an hour

 

ypipe could take anywhere from 30min to days depending on the tools you have at your disposal and your experience.

 

why 12 hours? do you have to completely pull the engine or something?

 

NMEXMAX - if u dont mind my askin. why did u install two y-pipes?

 

Don't the OBX headers have terrible fittment issues?

 

y-pipe shouldn't take long at all unless the bolts are stuck on the cat because of the heat.

 

DO not get OBX headers! Really BAD fitment! it took me 2 weeks just to put the obx headers on because ok 1) They hit the motor mounts. i had to weld pieces off the motor mounts to fit it on. 2) The EGR tube i think thats what its called... Well that tube doesnt fit right. You have to bend that S H I T in the hole and trust me its a B I T C H. I myself and my dad put the headers on and the y-pipe. Y-Pipe is pretty simple shouldnt take longer than a hr, 45 min max. Headers... Depends OBX arent the greates ones they take long lol. I just got them because i got the headers and y-pipe for 325 bucks on EBAY i couldnt beat the price. Then again you buy something cheap you get something cheap. It still gives power but fitment pissed me off. This is for a 95 Max.

 

i also have a 95 i got mine for bout 300shipd, would u reccomend going through all of it, or should i try and sell them and just get a y pipe?

 

y-pipe is easy.
It should not even take you 2 hours, especially if you have some helping hands in there with you.
