yours should be 10 times easier than mine. i'm thinking about selling mine and getting different ones bc i'v been doing this for a few days and it's crazy how long it's taking.

so i took the passenger side engine mount off and jacked up the engine to get the header in. absolutely ridiculous. i think the header is going to hit the strut tower or the emmissions tube because the tube was bolted to a bracket that was bolted on to the old stock headers. tried to "alter" a wrench to make it fit around the header bolts with some luck.
