I need to replace my radiator support soon and I already have my replacement. Was wondering if there would be enough Clearance after support was off that I could replace my headers with after market ones easily or should I say easier...anyone with experience with this? Also I know a lot of people are going to bash on getting the new ones due to hard installations and slight gains but I have someone that will sell me some for cheap. So why not? Plus I want my G louder..I already have motordyne shockwave TDx v2 and Berk hi flo cats as well

 

They can actually cause negative gains tho if you don't have the right supporting mods or if they're cheap headers. No one would knock them if they always gave you gains. Probably not worth it any effort much less a LOT of effort.

 

So what supporting mods would that be?

 

All of em. Haha headers are usually the very last mod you would do before a tune. Headers would be almost necessary for a FI setup tho. The headers really are truly unnecessary, and in lots of cases a bad mod.

 

Yea cuz all I have on car now is:
5/16 spacers
Shock wave exhaust
Berk hi flo cats
Short ram intake

 

Oh and osiris tune..this is how I found out the codes

 

G Zilla and Gary put stillen headers on with amazing gains. Speak from experience not from theory.

 

You already of Osiris, so getting a re-tune should be pretty simple. If you already have that much of the car apart, might as well go a little deeper and install some headers. There are gains to be made with headers, just will take a re-tune to maximize. You already have full bolt-ons, this would just be the final piece.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking..like finishing the breather mods completely would be nice!

But I know they are a pita to install and I have to replace both upstream sensors already and replace my radiator support does anyone know from experience or can tell me there will be enough clearance to install them a bit easier than without removing the front of my car? lol

 

Add a set of cams and you'll def feel those breather mods more!!!

 

Watch out for breaking studs and poor gasket seals. Make you wish you never did it.

 

JKL- any experience on this? Or go In more detail about it pls

 

Danoman32- I want to add cams but it's too big of an install for me and don't know too much on how to with the inner motor..plus dont wanna f up anything internal lol

 

Lots and lots of WD-40 is what he is saying . Those bolts are very very seized on the headers.

 

Oh I see now...lots of PB blaster I guess and long soaks lol
