Headers Installation...

[Z06scentair]

Im still trying to find a factory set to NCRS my car. Steve offered me his to use, but I would rather purchase a set to have with the car.

It's the only Item I need to make my car Original, but like my old man says their only original once!

What exactly are you looking for? I'll try to keep an eye out for it.

Sorry Chuck not trying to hi-jack your thread.

Just need a full exhaust from a 1990 minus the exhaust manifolds.

I've got one from a 1991. Are they the same?

If ur looking for something after cats, an LT-4 exhaust should work.

Anyone with PE pipes think that the exhaust controllers at the end of the pipes can be remotely controlled? Jeff? Dave?

Electronically or by vacuum?

Pretty sure they offered that option when they were in business. Plus I believe the power capsules (mufflers) were used on many different applications other than vettes, so it might be worth a search.

Found this on the capsule itself! http://www.powereffects.com/tech.htm

Spent :30 minutes getting 2 ex manifold bolts loose P side. Wow.

I found 2 ex manifold bolts missing on the 4-hole.

This is looking like a BIG job...

Chuck,

I will say while mine was on the lift a couple of months back, it appeared the header swap would not be a simple job.

You can do it though, I have confidence in you Pal!

I just went through this. I certainly didn’t document the installation up to your standards though.
Many of the bolts are accessible easiest from under the car with long extensions. Have a good assortment of extensions, swivels, swivel wrenches and short stubby combo wrenches. I used my ¼ “socket set on most bolts as mine were not that tight or corroded. The Passenger side is easiest. DR side a bit more difficult. I had to loosen the heat shield and bend it a bit on the DR side to get all the bolts off. New Header installation is much easier.
Order a new dipstick tube gasket from Jerry if you haven’t already. My SW headers required that I make a dipstick relocation bracket. (I copied the basic design of Pauls bracket…. Thanks Paul!) I would bet your OBX headers will need it also.

If you or anyone else needs to reinstall the AIR tubes on your headers, I have a stick of 304 – 3/8 OD Stainless tube that I have left over from my installation. What a bit@# to bend.

Good Luck
