Hey guys I just got some new headers for baby but need a lil help on doing them do anyone have a DIY wit pic so I can get an idea how to do them myself anything will help

 

I didn't snap any pictures when I did it but I can tell u kinda what to do? What headers did u get? Some have 3 holes u might need to weld one up and I heard on some u have to relocate it. If u have a lift things would be alot easier haha. U can go from top or bottom but it's easier to go from bottom upwards when putting it in. Take it out from the bottom too. Nothing really to it just a few sensor clips n take out all the header bolts. Remember to check ur gaskets..

 

check out the IS300 or supra manuals floating around for header removal

 

after reading this reply, i got confused

i think what he was trying to say, is that you'll most likely run into an issue with one of the o2 sensor's bung location on the header. the problem is that it doesn't clear the firewall and having to buy a new o2 if you damage it won't be so kind to your wallet. what i did was have the bung plugged and had a new bung relocted a bit higher to clear the issue.





i strongly recommend you have this done before you even attempt the install. I also installed this with no lift and went through the top of the engine bay with absolutely no problems! Another hint... DO NOT ATEMPT TO REMOVE THE O2 SENSORS OFF THE STOCK HEADER WHILE STILL ON THE CAR. remove the manifold with the sensors still attached and then use PB Blaster on them to help break them free of the "self weld" the heat and years have created.

Good Luck and feel free to ask any questions

hey thanks for the info well i got some HPR with y pipe hey did ur CEL come on when you put them on so yall telling me im need to move a o2 get it relocate hmmmmm how much would that be to move and get weld hmmmmmmmm

 

i had an o2 sim put in so it wouldn't throw a CEL. Relocating the bung is only a few bucks... can't remember but maybe around $20. Just have any local muffler shop do it for you. It's really not a big deal... your biggest problem is getting the flanges to seal where the y-pipe and header meet. I don't think there's a gasket in this world that will not leak!

 

Thanks for the info now I can't wait to work on it I be sure to put up some pic when done
