HEADER INSTALLATION PROBLEM HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
 

did anyone have problems installing JDL UEL HEADERS? or if not, what you guys do to put it on because if i try one side the other side wont reach and when i put the holes lined up one side will not enter please help and thanks in advance

You get what you pay for. Especially with headers. Go with a reputable brand and these issues will not arise.

what its wrong with JDL? arnt they as good as tomi
i thought it was borla and gruppy s brands that were crap ????

Never had any issues with any borla products at all. Just never seen any reputable vendor selling any JDL products.

fteightsix their own sightt auto design but thats weird

JDL is a fantastic brand. Unless OP went with a sub $300 header he shouldn't have a problem.

However I doubt companies test fit each product before shipping out, so you may have ended up with a borked product :/

its not the OP that is the problem its like were the bolt meets the header to attach to the engine thats where they dont meet :( i get one side in and the other side dose not reach i tried putting them on half way and they still dont go up i tried putting back my oem header and it went up easily :(

I just assumed they were like every other company that you have never heard of before. Only place ive ever seen them for sale is their own little site and ebay.

never saw them on ebay :O but who knows lol

My bad when I said "OP" I meant Original Poster (you) :lol:

Yea if the header doesn't line up to your engine block you're just gonna have to return it :iono:

Ive never seen their headers but I believe it was them anyways that had some catback systems on there or maybe it was JL not JDL lol either way ignore my comments I clearly have my head up my ass.

Never heard of that problem. I had to slide my uel slowly by sort of going back and forth on each side.

Try measuring from bolt to bolt across the block then measure the matching bolt holes on the header, if they are off by a lot then you have a problem. If they match then it's user error.

alright then i guess slow and stead wins the race then again our cars are slow :lol::lol::lol:

JDL is one of the top brands for this car..... and their headers aren't cheap anyways. Don't know what your post even means.:laughabove:

same!!!!

I believe like I said farther down in the thread that I had my head up my ass and had them confused with another company.

I read that, but....what other company? P&L maybe? That is the closest thing to confusion I could think of, but even that is a longshot.

Thinking back I belive there was a ebay company a couple years ago called J2 that was making exhaust parts. So yea just a case of me putting my foot in my mouth here lol.

:(
 

hey did you ever have a popping sound like pocorn coming from the driver side after installing it or like something hitting like plastic or something? cuz im getting this strange knocking

No I'm still rocking my stock header. Sorry man :/

I've got the JDL header and don't have any popcorn sounds. Maybe check to see if it's hitting the skidplate. Also check OP clearance.
