alright heres a quick run through, any questions PM me

1. For a lot of help, I bought a O2 sensor remover from checker for like 9 or 10 bucks, big help.

2. First, gently loosen the 02 sensor from manifold under the hood, then, Remove the *no high fives* heat shield covering stock manifold

3. Exposed will be 12mm bolts and 2 14mm bolts holding the stock manifold in place.

4. I got under the car and removed the 2 bolts holding the manifold to the stock "downpipe", along with another bolt thats connected to a coupling holding it in place.

5. I then got back under the hood and undid all the manifold bolts. the lower left mani bolt was a *****, what i ended up doing was getting under the car, and put a wrench on the bolt, while under the car i threaded a rope through the hole of the wrench and wrapped the rope around the wrench. This job is a lot easier with 2 or 3 people. Dont be scared to ask for help. The rope has to be long enough and enough slack to stand on the side of the driver side fender and pull until it loosens. Sounds weird, but no impact gun or socket will fit snug into how close that bolt sits to the power steering assembly. In 2 hours it was the only thing I could think of to get it off.

6. After that bolt is off, remove the manifold from the car, notice you have to pull up and toward yourself when removing it to dislodge it from the downpipe and pull it off the manifold threads.

7. Bolt on the RRM headers, make sure you have secured it with all the 12mm bolts and 14mm bolts, very important you dont have any extra bolts. Bolt it to the downpipe and secure the coupling under the car as well.

8. *EXTRA* while under the car, if you purchased the CEL ELIMINATOR, it DOES NOT go on the header O2 sensor hole, i found this out the hard way, the CEL ELIMINATOR goes on the 2nd Catalytic converter thats located under the car, so loosen the O2 sensor under the car, remove it, install the CEL ELIMINATOR, and install the O2 sensor onto the eliminator.

9. Check for any lose bolts, start the car, let it run, youll notice the headers start to steam/smoke, thats normal, let it run, take it out for a little drive, notice and listen for any leaks, awkward changes, just in case something doesnt feel right. Enjoy the header purchase!
