Longtube Header Install

This weekend I'm going to install my longtubes and I was just wondering if there were any tips or tricks to making the job easier, Thanks.

Re: Longtube Header Install

What type and size headers?
I was able to get mine in with the engine mounted. DS from the bottom and the PS from the top.
Mine are headman 68460 longtubes 1 5/8 primaries.

I think they are Dynomax, and the primaries are 1 5/8 also

Re: Longtube Header Install

I would suggest jacking up the motor. You might be able to get them in w/o jacking the motor, but if you take 10min. to unbolt the motor they will just slide in. I just did the hedman longtubes a couple weeks ago. I did the drivers side from underneith. The passenger I had to remove the starter and slid it in from the top.
