ok onefasteclipse these are shortys, you dont have to raise the motor or anything like that, did you see the pic he posted?? they will go right in, i have the same ones and had to do nothing but bolt right in..

My friend and I did my shorty headers in less than an hour. Take the smog tubing out on the pass side to give yourself room to work. The pass side one is very easy and the drivers one I put in from the bottom and wasn't too bad either. It looks a lot harder than it really is. If you didn't get locking header bolts make sure you retighten them after a few heating/cooling cycles, I lost quite a few bolts that way.

They are equal length shorties. They are alot wider then a regular shorty header. You will need to tilt the motor a tad to make it easier to get in. Why you trying to argue with me? This is a common acurrence. I had to do it, I know others that had to do it. You didn't have to do it? Great, glad your install went easy. It's not like tilting the motor is hard to do, it can be done in 2 minutes and make the whole job that much easier.

i know thats what i have in mine and just like OnyxCobrai didnt have any problems with my install..not trying to argue, just wasnt forsure if you knew they were shorties thats all. i just know that from mine it wasnt that bad and others also that it wasnt that bad ethier..tilting the motor is a good idea too if you get into any problems with install...but the whole thing if his motor mounts are bad than its best to put motor mounts in and do the headers att the same time, and the locking nuts are a plus also cause i lost a couple too..i got locking ones now and all is great...

you are a friggin idiot.... there is ONE bolt that holds the steering shaft in place,, unbolt it and swing it out of the way, the drivers side headers goes in from the bottom, passenger side, from the top.

I had to remove my throttle body to get the pass side header in

ditto what he said...lol....

OneFastEclipse

How does that make me a freaking idiot? Because I do it a different way then you makes me a idiot? I believe you are just a jackass. Some people, like myself prefer to stay on top of the car and not on my back trying to fight it up from underneath. You waist your time trying to move the steering shaft, risk snapping a corroded bolt, I'll put it in through the top and not have the hassle.

I'd say your a idiot for having to remove your Throttle body to get the passenger side in. The throttle body was no where in the way for me.

OnyxCobra

How do you unbolt the header to midpipe bolts from the top? That sounds like a huge hassle.

AdderMk2

actually.. it was coming off anyway... I was puting my 70mm on

why is he in a mustang forum talking about one fast eclipse??sounds like hes got a few nuts missing, or in some cases hard to get too..back to what i said before...all you have to do is take the old stuff out and drop the new stuff in, whatever way you fell like doing it in this case it seems to work different for some of us, iam 6ft7in tall and prefer to be above the car, its hard for me to be under it but i do know that you have to be under it to get the bolts of the cat/h pipe...if you can get them from the top please send pics of doing that....would love to show them around
