Hey guys,
I am in the middle of the header install and while I consider myself pretty handy, my experience with cars is pretty minimal. But I since I have been having as much fun as you guys modding, I wanted to tackle this myself. So after removing both stock headers (with some difficutlies as the torx heads broke offof 3 bolts, which required a laborous removal with vice grips and elbow grease), I have the new headers in place but I am having problems getting the JBA bolts to thread. In particular the bottom bolt entering cylinders #2 and #4mostly because I can not seem to get a great angle toget at them. Before I start removing things to make more room, I wanted to see if anybody else has any advice.

Thanks for your help in advance

The JBA header install is definitely an intense endeavor. I'm going out right now but will get back with you tomorrow morning on the subject. Just went through a total install myself and I'll share my experience with you. Jack

Thanks for the help. I had a productive hour after work tonight and actually installed the passenger side without too much swearing
I decided to declare a victory and I will finish up the drivers side which is half finished tomorrow. After reading a few other threads, I wish I had left the torx factory bolts in place to begin with and just slid the new headers over the bolts. But heh, I think it will be well worth the effort once it finished--especially doing it myself.
