Finished installing headers
I finished installing my bbk headers (full length), removed the ac, and removed the smog.
I dont know why everyone says its hard to fit full length headers in these cars. Mine slipped in right like a glove. I had too much room as a matter of fact. I can only guess that the people that complain dont use an engine hoist. It only took me about 2 hours of actual work to do the headers. Another 1-2 to take care of the ac and air. I used a piece of 16 gauge steel to make the egr block off plate incase anyone was wondering. To block off the hole in the back of the heads; I used a pipe cutter and cut off the ends that mate to the heads, and then filled the pipe in with a bolt and silicone. Vwala.
I also used bbk's matching H pipe, which I do have to say fits like trash. I did, however, mate it to the factory tail pipes; so that myth is busted too. Just incase anyone was thinking of doing that.
