header install

[Steveo]

Just throwing it out there I need a good shop in the Tampa bay area or someone in a decent distance close to me that has the tools and wants to make some extra cash and put headers on my car.I just don't want to get raped by a shop.

[Chaos]

My mechanic did mine for $350 as a POR for ya. Short or long?

[bullet06]

come down to naples ill help you that way you can put your next set on. if its the long tubes you'll have to get it welded.

[Chaos]

Ill help, supervise that is.... Matt and you can do all the work

[Steveo]

That be cool I'm down my dads got a place in ft myers so I could make a weekend out of it. There the obx longtubes I'm guessing u don't have a welder and I'm shit out of luck?

[bullet06]

if we go to autozone i can rig some thing up till you get it welded. but no welder i need one though.

[Steveo]

How safe am I driving it back to Tampa and driving around for a few days?

[Steveo]

And if u don't mind I will gladly throw u some cash if u wanna help me throw on my motor mounts and spacers. I just don't got tools around anymore and wouldn't mind havin someone thats done it already

Bring earplugs. It won't hurt anything just gonna be LOUD AS SHIT! I'm sure we could get it al least clamped I have a wicked sawz-all so that's no issue.

[Steveo]

It would connect to my exhaust and then we could clamp it how come it would be loud?

[Ricoswave]

You can use stainless band clamps from the cat delete pipe, to you're custom pipe and you would never need to weld it. It should be a slip fit to any standard 2.5" exhaust, or in you're case you're custom exhaust. Welding is ideal but not necessary if you use the sweet stainless band clamps.

[Ricoswave]

Its going to be loud as shit basically with any exhaust on it............so be prepared for a serious change hahaha.

[bullet06]

you'll have a exhaust leek at worst so it will hurt your power a bit till fixed but that's it an yes the long tubes are load an your exhaust was already really loud so with headers it will be mad loud.

[Chaos]

I love my loud car

[bullet06]

never done the rear mount but well see how fast the header job goes first that will take some time so does the spacers. not that i won't do it but there all time consuming.

[Steveo]

Haha it is loud..I'm not worried bout noise at all i had a 95 z28 with dumped exhaust that bitch was loud. I just talkes to some people and welding it won't cost much so let me know ur schedule is say just after the new year I will head down.

[bullet06]

will do

[Chaos]

Let me know when yall get a date and ill see if I can get it off

[Steveo]

Ya deff thanks for the help ya just the headers are good for now that's all Im concerned bout for now cuz I don't want a $400 part sitting around. Let me know I will pm u my number so we can keep in touch..get a little cruise goin maybe while I'm don't there.

[bullet06]

i'll help you on the spacers but it takes sometime maybe a nother time.

[Steveo]

Ya that's straight I wanna get my whole exhaust finished asap

If your patient yes you can. I refused to lay on my back on a cobble stone driveway for 6hrs to do it though. So I payed somebody. Only mod I didn't do my self. Well that and my exhaust but that required tools I don't have like pipebenders. So I don't count that.lol

Bullet...if you have a fix for the spacers on OBX long tubes please share it with me ......pm me please. I'm still throwing low-voltage and I'm out of inspection I'll build a shrine in my house to you if you can furnish a solution

Sorry for stealing the thread...but it wasn't OT

I did the headers and spacers at the same time....it was better access to the rear header with the intake off so the spacers were easy to do at the same time. I have done the front mount but not the back....it looked like a real bear to tangle with. i have the OBX LTs and love 'em.....just got to get those codes to stay away. You are going to need to extend your O2 sensor wires so be prepared for that. A sawzall was my best friend on the rear bank of the factory exhaust manifolds. The headers go on easy once you get all the factory crap off.
