Make sure to have a heat sheild around your starter... headers will melt the inside of a starter fast.

You can wait awhile on the heat tape.. as far as the sheild..napa or autozone should have one for less then 10... your car can go awhile before it burns it up...... I did the same thing as vou, first I pluged the dip stick hole until i was ready to jack it up, unbolt the header and then reinstall the dipstick...I would say 30 for that is cheap.

OH AND 7554 since my dad and grandpa were trained in san diego i can opt to go there as well. so at least i dont have to go to paris island! ive heard its really bad with all the bugs over there

lmao sounds like u just started cutting stuff out of ur car u didnt know what it was
ORIGINAL: oneals camaro

its a 1991 rs 5.0 and it was horrible! i also had to cut out all of those metal pipes that hook to the stock headers. I got rid of my a/c thing that hangs toward the fire wall, oh and a bunch of rubber tubing that didnt seem to go anywhere. The tubing just connected to itself over and over agian but didnt really connect to any of what i think are the vital engine parts.
