This might be true, however our cars are RHD so the steering pinion/shaft are on the other side (right in the bloody way) therefore there is a really small space to play with hence we lift the engine up to create a bit more wiggle room! |

Also not recommended that you jack from oil pan. Best if the block of wood is placed on the cast alloy block or cam chain cover. Instructions here: http://aceheader.com/images/Removal_..._of_Header.pdf Quote:
Any questions regarding installs, feel free to PM us or send us an e-mail at ace@bymer.com.tw Take care |

I've got everything done; header is installed, tune is applied. Sounds very nice, goes very nice. 0-100 is down to 7.3s (AT). I like this
There's one thing bugging me; the pipe actually touches the bottom plate. What do you guys recommend, how to best address this? |

1. Remove skid plate 2. Place block of wood on bottom of skid plate 3. Hammer the raised section until flat This should take care of the contact. Glad to hear the install and tuning went well |

I'm getting my header installed next week. I was just reading through the instructions and I have a few questions.
1) How long would it take a competent shop to install this? 2) What are guys using for the midpipe to front pipe gasket? 3) Do I really need to remove the front pipe if I'm reusing the stock one? Thanks. |

If you are just on oem catback it's totally fine, but if you got any aftermarket catback (especially the ones don't use the spring bolt) or you just took it on & off many times then you should get a new one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
