Tomei why you fail meee! :'(
 
I recently bought tomei uel headers for my car because I read only good things about it. When I installed my ark exhaust I decided to do the headers as well and the fitment was off! One side fits in perfect but then the other side won't go in. It's just one bolt hole thats off by a little, and the overpipe won't attach as well :/ anyone had the same issue?

Other side is on but this side. As you can see one hole is off

Are all the nuts loose when you try to install it? Sometimes the header needs convinced it want to go on and all the nuts either need to be off, or extremely loose.

P_say86 03-26-2015 02:38 PM

Nuts aren't on bro. It needs to go in before I put nuts on. That's the problem

Did you try installing the header first? Remember all 4 bolts should be inserted at the same time.

That's what she said.


On serious note, there's a specific way to torque these so they fit nicely, starting on the passenger side. Your issue looks pretty bad since you can't even fit it on. Like others have said, contact the vendor you bought it from. That should be a warranty item.

Did you undo the overpipe to front pipe connection??

Hm maybe I should start from the passage side. I'll see but I don't think it'll make a difference .
