Header installation

canuk7 · 05-08-2006, 11:57 AM

Hi fellas,
I'm toying with the idea of installing paccies(4499) to my au1 forte myself. I've never done this before and I have a few questions to ask the members.
1 Is this a job that a amateur can do, or is it best left to a professional.

2 If it can be done by me, is there any alterations to the paccies or welding to make them fit. (or do they bolt straight on)

3 Do I have to make any alterations to the catalytic converter

Thanks guys, any tips, opinions greatly appreciated.

Fitting the headers is easy - Its just the modification to the rest of the exhaust that is hard. The Pacemakes finish in a different place from memory and the flange on the origional exhaust pipe has to be moved back so it is really close to the catalytic converter.

Good move if you don't have the tools to do the job.
