Installing headers on my 08 GT. Got some BBK long tubes and catted X. I just came back in from a very liberal application of WD-40 to all the bolts, just wondering if anyone has and words of advise before I begin tommorow.

I hope your son is mechanically inclined to help start some of header bolts for you.

JDWalton

I guess I should add I have never done anything north of the cats as far as exhasut goes

use a lift
have a lot of patience
be prepared for a lot of cusssin

Are you also replacing the motor mounts?

JDWalton

well its a 08 and I only have 1600 miles on it so no, dont think so

JDWalton

sadly no lift, this is going to be done by drive up ramps and a jack.

Your not alone!! I'm going to be installing headers on my car tomorrow also!! I'm installing prothane motor mounts too since I've heard so many people saying their headers rubbed the steering shaft in turns and the prothanes fix that. Good luck.. to us both!!

oh... see that would have been good to know info like 2 weeks ago when I ordered this stuff.... Just wish it wasn't like 8 degrees outside..... Doing it in a unheated garage. Do have one of those kerosene heaters though.

Yeah, I am planning on doing my LT install in the next couple of weeks too. We need to get a full tools list of what all is needed. I saw it in one of the writeups..but I cannot for the live of me find it again. I am debating on ordering the motor mounts as well...would like to save the money and do it without them though.
