I have the bottom two bolts off of the exhaust manifold, but I can't find a way to reach the top two that are near the intake manifold. Does anyone know a relatively easy way to get those bolts off so I can install my header? Better yet, does anyone have a written explanation on how to install the racing beat header? Thanks in advance.

bump.

You need to remove the heat shield and the ACV to get to the right bolts. You will need to really beat those nuts. They will be rusted up the wahoo.

What's the ACV? I already have the intake inlet duct off, but I can't get enough room to move around freely in there.

Okay, I know what the ACV is, now how the hell do I get it off?

snub disphenoid

Seriously, the car can't run right now and it has to be running in about 3-4 hours. Any help would be appreciated.

take a look at aaroncakes pics. he had to take off the ACV to put the turbo on. Its similar to that.

My idiocy and ineptitude know no boundaries. Finished, got everything hooked up. All told it took me 5 hours.

Then, when I go to start up my car: I turn the key, and I notice that the engine isn't firing up, so I blip the throttle a little. Oops, forgot that gives it GAS. I look at the engine bay, and I realize then that I'm a dumbass. My MAF was unplugged. So I plug it in and I have to let my car sit for 30 minutes. Then I start it up and it eventually starts up. Sounds great, noticeable power gains, sounds great...sounds...great...

Conclusions: Locating a breaker bar is a bitch, rusted threads suck ***, headers are a worthwile investment of time and money, and Racing Beat and HKS can come together to make some great sounds. Damn if it doesn't smell, though...

PICTURES!!!

poor college student

be careful with the rusted threads and breaker bars... u don't want to be breaking any studs... that's a major pita.... i did that twice w/ my exhaust system... once i broke the stud on the block, the other time it was the one on the presilencer. pb blaster is great.

poor college student

btw, which hks exhaust do u have?

snub disphenoid

I have the 55mm sport.

Here's the crap that came off.

It's 3AM, I'll get better shots tomorrow.

poor college student

nice, i had the 50mm catback mated w/ the rb header/presilencer combo... sounded great.

snub disphenoid

Yeah, this sounds awesome. Contrary to what I thought, the header actually made it sound a lot deeper.

lets get a sound clip

Any idea on where to host it?

Convert it to MP3 and attach it.

snub disphenoid

It's .AVI. I also have a short 7 second clip of taking it from 65 to 90 (sounds from inside the car).

It says you need to be signed in.

How big is the file?

dorifc3s

took off everything in the way and then used a 14mm box wrench. it unscrewed easier than i thought.

snub disphenoid

5mb, 1mb for the in-car video.

Anyone know of any other ways to host video files publicly?
