CNT header unequal length - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

PITTFRS · 06-19-2015, 04:16 PM

I got mine today, it looks to be the same quality as everyone else. My only complaint is the packaging, there was not bubble wrap or anything just the header, a plastic bag over it and a box.

I will be test fitting tonight, and if all is well i will ceramic coat it and then do the full install. I will keep you guys updated on how it goes.

Had a family emergency come up so I haven't gotten a chance to get the headers test fitted yet but I may have some time later tonight

Hi,

Mine just arrived today.
Can you or anybody tell me what the two bolts and crushers are for, if you could just use the original bolts?

PITTFRS · 06-30-2015, 07:09 AM

It's because on the stock header there are studs that attach to the stock over pipe.

Installed mine yesterday. I have to say, I used to work at a architectural metal shop and the weld were nice considering. When I looked at some of the more expensive headers I was not impressed with the welds. Yes, the collector could use some reworking on the inside, but it's what I could afford. Sound is amazing

how was fitment??

everything aligns up?

Will update shortly after I get it installed. Should be done in a few hours.

Have to make it home from the airport first.

Fitment to the block was perfect, not a fight at all. The flange to the over pipe was slightly off as far as a 1/16" gap on top, but once I torqued the bolts down it closed up. So, in other words, all holes lined up perfect and probably the easiest install I've done. Took me longer to pull the protective plates on the bottom of the car off and back on then the header swap itself haha. 1.5hrs for install, if that.

Question, were you switching from an all stock setup (header and overpipe), if so did you have to loosen/remove the overpipe to get the stock header off due to the stock header having the OP bols attached?

CaptivaBlueTeg · 07-08-2015, 08:20 PM

Yes, factory overripe and downpipe. I did not have to take off the overripe. Remove the nuts from the header/overpipe. On the downpipe, there is a hanger (halfway down the car) the hanger has two 12mm bolts, loosen those and you can lift up to pull up to unhook from the hanger and drop/pull the exhaust a little. That gave me more then enough room to pull the header out.
