The simple way??

Pull the motor out

No honestly I don't think any special tools are needed other than maybe some deep sockets.... maybe Im wrong.

Very easy to do.

1. Plenty of PB BLASTER
2. 13mm socket. OPEN END 13MM and a quick 13MM wrench for header bolts
3.14MM deep 15MM deep 10MM deep.


Crossover bolts will break so you need to put all you effort to break them off.

Manifold bolts 13mm will strip easily if you dont use the correct socket (ask JEFF).

USe an engine strap to pull motor as far forward as you can to get to the rear bolts easily.

JAck the car up to remove the D/P bolts to the cat back.

sawsall or something to cut the stock downpipe off that is connected to the cat.

LOL yea...a 1/2 inch open end might feel like it fits...it dont.

Lots of extensions to connect the DP and headers.......deep sockets too.

IT may take two people to bolt up the headers to the DP. One on top of the negine and one below the car too..
