long tube header install on 2010 mustang

[Scapegoat]

installing my headers tomorrow in glenside. if anyone is in the area or interested in stopping by let me know. if i like you i'll pm you the address haha

i don't think i'll need a **** load of help, but it'd be cool to have people around for the hours and hours i'll be doing the work :lol:

if you've got ramps, that'd be pretty sweet :)

Don't forget to PB Blaster all the bolts on the header and collector underneath. You would be amazed how fast they rust and a broken bolt would ruin the day quickly.

Looks like a pretty easy install. Just becareful with those header bolts. Make sure you have a good socket on them and apply pressure on them while turning so you don't strip them out.

I bet your pissed you didn't wait for that new 5.0 :lol:

That's a pretty good write up. Help's alot. It looks like along with wobble extensions and flex head ratchets. I love using my stubby 3/8 ratchet and ratcheting wrenches they make life so much easier it tight spots.
