Just finished installing our Sikky longtube headers on our ISF. While we were at it we decided to throw together the first ever header installation guide (for the ISF) to show our customers whats involved with the install and what tools are required. We do recommend professional installation for all of our products. However if you do decide to install the product yourself this guide will walk you through step by step!

 

Give me a set of these and I'll plaster SIKKY all over my car including my plate

 

WOW good stuff here.

 

Great content James!

 

Great informative video!

 

Great video. Puts everything in perspective now. Oh btw James, there is dried coolant on your transmission, you more than likely have the coolant valley plate leak.

 

Would it be a good idea to just replace the motor mounts with new ones since you have to take them out anyways?

 

yeah i would if you have more than 60k miles. mine as well.

 

Why did they throw out those rings on the motor mounts?

Cool video. Every time I see the factory headers I get a bit queasy...what an abomination!

 

It would be good to know why (interference, redundant, etc.) any of the "permanent" changes were made. Any mod I can make that can be returned to factory later is always my first choice if possible. Ditching the rubber/polymer pads/rings on the motor mounts, clipping the sensor wire stabilizer, cutting and grinding the mount off, scrapping the heat shields, etc., were they all necessary, necessary for the Sikky vs. PPE only, or for some other reason? Can any experience member share their thoughts on this?

Also noticed the stock LCA bushings and some inner tire wear on the driver side. If you have money for headers, then you have money for new LCA bushings.

 

I see $1899 on the website, it that really for the long tube V2 headers?
The start up sound with the OEM exhaust in the video did not seem any louder than stock, can anyone confirm that? I would love some gains without the stupid loudness.

 

Absolutely awesome video. I've always wondered every specific step of this process, particularly after reading about that one dude pulling this off on stands.
To any that haven't watched it yet, fire it up on TV with some friends & a bottle of tequila and do a shot every time he says "snug."

 

Thanks for making this video! I had v2 headers installed last year and headers have been rock solid.

 

What is the module that gets soldered in?

 

What is your setup?
