Hey guys, a kind of non exhaust-related question but this seems the right forum to ask.

I need to drop the headers to install a block heater, and can't figure out if I can remove the headers without taking out the midpipe to allow me to shift the overpipe back a bit to let the headers come off. Looks like the bolts in the overpipe may stop me bringing the headers down if it isn't moved back a bit.

Do I need to loosen the overpipe to let the headers drop? I'm trying to figure out how many gaskets I need to buy before installing the block heater.

Thanks
Jon
