i plan on buying the ebay headers and y-pipe but how fuxked would i be if i snapped off a bolt on the rear header? i need to know how to tackle this without ****ing anything up! thatnks for any suggestions, help a soldier!

 

All I know is that when I swapped my Y pipe, one of the bolts going to the cat snapped, had to drill it out.... Sure was not fun, turned a 45min job into 2 hours of omg wtf do we f/in do.

 

Soak um in PB Blaster overnight.

But if it is gonna snap/come out, it likely will.

 

I hate when that shyt happen. One f-ing bolt can ruin an entire day.

 

where can i get this PB Plaster? and i meant what happens if i snap off a bolt and its stuck in the block itself??

 

It means bad times .

You can get PB blaster from any auto store.

EDIT:

If a bolt is lodge into the block, then u will either need to drill it out and retap hole. Or u can try a bolt removal kit, which still requires a drill.

A stripped bolt ALWAYS sucks

 

Any autopart store.

If it does snap, then you will have to use a bolt extractor and replace the bolt

 

how the hell am i supposed to get to the rear header???? without pulling my engine...

 

Remove the IM and go by feel

 

One more reason why I'll NEVER get headers.

 

Biggest thing to remember is take your time!! Get underneath the car and turn the bolts a little at a time, dont just get under there and crank the hell out of them, thats how they get snapped off.
I have had my y pipe on and off numerous times while performing the motor swap and have had no problems with the bolts.

Save your money and dont get the headers...waste of time, a pain in the *** and your really not gonna gain alot.....install the Y-pipe and call it a day!

 

yeah im just gonna go with the y pipe, but will the y pipe fit the stock headers?

 

Should be a direct fit.. What pipe are you getting?

 

direct fit or almost direct w/ slight modification
