Headers Install.

[94NDTA]

EDIT: LINKS FIXED!!
Here are some pics from my header install. They are Jet Hot's 1-3/4" primary Long tubes, no emsission equptiment. These were a bitch and a half to install. Here's a pic of them out of the car (sorry, I didn't snap a pic of mine, but these are the same)

Car goes up on the ramps.

Old headers come out

New headers go in


I wrapped them in medical gauze first, so the finish didn't chip when putting them in.
New plugs and over the valve cover wires go in, Hotchkis Strut brace goes back on, hook everything back up, and my once very clean engine bay is now crazy dirty.

Time to clean.

It seems easy, but was one of the most frustrating projects I went through. Basically, everything had to be removed, and I had to jack the passanger side of the engine up to get one side in.

Results:
5 busted knuckles
1 busted snap on sockets
1 busted dipstick tube
1 busted dipstick
1 dirty engine bay
about 35 extra rwhp

Oh yeah, and the K&N oil filter is good for at least 20 hp at the wheels

You need to upload them your self instead of leaching them from Car Domain. That is why they dont work.

FIXED!! This is the first time I have had cardomain do that. I've been using car domain for a good 2 years too.

It helps when you have a larger engine. The stock headers were bottlenecked quite a bit so the car would not make as much hp as the same year vette (same engine). Couple people (manuals) have clocked more rwhp than that.

looks like u did in the summer

[94NDTA]

Yup, but I just got my digi with these pics back from my brother at UND.

might want to consider buying a bosch filter for $5-6 instead of dropping so much on a k&n.

not the oil filter, that's the one in question

[94NDTA]

I got the K&N for about $6 with my work discount. I only put about 3000 miles on my car a year, dropping a couple bucks for more for an oil filter doesn't make too much of a difference.

well, you might want to consider the bosch anyway, i cam across a comparison on dsmtuners one day that listed the bosch and wix filters as the two best. however... the wix is more than $10, and only mail order around here (i think)

i bet those were a bitch to install..hell just changing plugs and wires on the 5.0 was a knuckle buster. So i can imagine long tube headers. Looks good man good work!!!

I've seen similar tests, but I never saw bosch in the running. Maybe I missed it.

Ah, the joys of working on the 4th gen F-body. Those are nice looking headers, though. Did you use an off-road Y-pipe with those?

I got a hooker 3 inch Y-pipe. I had the "massage" it to work with my headers/SLP exhaust.
