Header help!!
by jpac811 Sun Jul 10, 2011 8:59 pm
Hey guys. Im about to order some headers and x pipe. I was wondering if you guys recommend me installing this myself or having a shop do it for me. I heard it was an all day thing. Im mechanically inclined but have basic tools. Do I need anything special? All advice will be appreciated. Btw the install will be on my 07 GT 5spd. Thanks

If your going to do it. Get an engine cradle or a something to hold the engine and drop the K member. It'll be a tight fit but that will make it so much easier. Having a compressor and Impact tools will make it easier and faster. As far as specialty tools. basically any special tools you need to drop the K member.

if you need tips on bleeding the Hyd. clutch after the clutch install let me know I can give you tips. I just did one on an 07 and Ford did not put a bleeder screw on the slave cyl.

Thanks for the offer Rich!! I can deff bring the beer just need to know what you guys like. I should be getting the clutch tomorrow and just letting a shop install it on Friday. The rest will be installed by me and whoever else would like to help but this will be the weekend after Mustang week since thats when Im picking it all up. BBR is bringing them from FL so I dont have to pay for shipping since I was going to Mustang week any way.

I'll be coming home on the 30th. If you could hold off for one more weekend I'd be happy to help. I don't have much patience though so if you're like me you'll be ready to get them on as soon as they come in!
