my bad.

I didn't torque the bolts down, just used my man strength as I normally do with exhaust parts lol. I checked all bolts a few days later and everything was still tight.

I do know that two of the bolts will be damn near impossible to get a torque wrench on.
@F1point4 notes 22 ft lbs though for torquing requirements.

No problem. Good luck, its a pretty straight forward install. Is the one you are receiving the revised version of the header?

I actually wouldn't even care about getting a replacement if it didn't hurt the resale value on it...but seeing as if I ever sold it i'd have to sell it for marginally cheaper being it hits the skid plate - I will swap it with the revised one once I get it.

Just sucks because now I have to buy a new skid plate.. lol. Well I don't HAVE to buy it, but I will buy it.

Ok soo! Header and over pipe are on took just about 2 hours raking my time.. I have some leaks tho and its fucking LOUD. im going to have to take off the muffler delete and put the stock catback on tomorrow, and also figure out the leak situation. its mostly the front pipe to the mid pipe which has been happening because of no donut gasket but i also think i have minor leaks from the header to the over pipe.. Build quality is amazing! And ill post up pics and videos later. Also when driving i got a weird noise in higher rpms alnost like a backfire im going to flash the car before i drive it again hopfuly thats the fix.
