By the way.The dipstick tube sucks and usually breaks off when you pull it out, so be careful with it.DO NOT WIGGLE IT!Also the egr tube sucks to get off and back on.Those will probably be your most frustrating moments. Just take your time and be safe.

for my headers i didnt have to pull the dip stick.... only had to do it to remove the heads.

the egr sucks though... i say get rid of it! lol.

my egr tube had an exhuast leak and i always thought it was my headers and tightned them and nothing... the egr was on tight as it could go as well and it still leaked. sounded like crap

Oh my god were my longtubes a total PITA!!! I also had issues with my egr tube (cross threaded). I had leaks with the gaskets supplied with the headers. The bolts were hard to tighten until I broke down and bought a stubby ratcheting wrench.I bought percy's gaskets and stage 8 locking header bolts the second time I had to work on my headers and have had no problems since.

Did anyone else have a problem with the o2 extensions? Mine didn't line up so i had to break the little tabs off to get them to work.Just remembered about that.
