Sorry it took so long for me to reply everyone, my internet was out for 3 days.

I don't think I'll take the air pump off. I just wanna get the car up and running. I did the plugs and wires yesterday...With the header on, the #6 cylinder took me 2 hrs to get plug lined up !


My service engine light is already on because one of my 02 sensors is out. I just don't like having the air pump and stuff in the way....There isn't enough room as it is.

Oh well...it stays ....for now.

Awesome man ! I can't wait to hear them!

They fit up really nice and easy. I did have to jack the motor on both sides. But that was really nothing at all. It sounds a lot worse when you say you have to "remove something from the motor mount".

The hardest part was getting the spark plugs on with the headers on. Maybe I should have done it opposite, but I didn't wanna break a plug.

Thanks for the help !

I'll put a link up with a video....If it starts...Haha....my plug wires don't have numbers on them so I had to just run them by length.

I was told that #2 is the longest wire and #1 is the second longest.

But they're up. I guess we'll see

They didn't fit in the stock looms either so I kinda just had to wire them my own way.

I hope it works
