Re: Headers - Ordered - Discuss install and options
Hey, sorry, haven't checked in for a few days. Yah, you will want to feed them through the bottom, but the challenge is getting the truck up high enough in the air. You can also put them in through the top, but you have to pull some stuff out and take it apart to get them in there. If you don't have a way to get it higher in the air, maybe going through the top would be better.
High flow cats should keep you good to go in OR. I too was concerned about it here in UT as they are anal as all hell with everything on emissions and safety. I almost couldn't pass safety instection because of my tires sticking out the side and my lift; though I have a very mild lift in my opinion. Pisses me off as I see trucks much more lifted than mine driving around without any problems getting registered. Anyway, let me know where you are at with this and I can provide you more detailed help if needed.

Re: Headers - Ordered - Discuss install and options
Thx for your reply.
Headers are installed and cat forward to headers fit like a glove. I still need to sinch it all up in places between headers and muffler but it's all in place and I simply ran out of daylight and energy.
The O2 s fit with no extension. There are 3 bungs on each side. I need to get a bung plug (that's what she said! Lol) for 2 bungs.
That one bolt that busted off on driver side had a nice stud sticking out of the head. Turns out I had a full blown craftsman stud extractor kit in my box. I was stoked. Here's the sh*ter....I put the stud extractor piece on the ratchet and turned it a couple times Easy easy.... 2 turns later the bolt broke again... IN THE HEAD.... Damn.
My buddy had top of the line bits and easy outs ...... And skills.... And got it out. Pics to follow in my official write up. I took tons of pics.
Overall it's a one day job if you start early enough, I started at 1pm.
Fyii... OBX does not come with header bolts, and does not come with EGR block off plate which the hummer needs. A side from that fit was perfect.
More in the official thread with pics, to follow soon.

Re: Headers - Ordered - Discuss install and options
Nice man, glad you got it put back together and got it set! I too had to remove broken bolts when I did mine, pain in the a**. Took an entire day's worth of time just working on getting the broken bolts out. Luckily Dynatech sent me all super nice bolts and everything, so I was good to go on that. Looking forward to seeing your pics- I should have documented my work to but didn't think about it.

Re: Headers - Ordered - Discuss install and options
Alrighty-- thanks to all who participated in this thread. It was great to have the discussion in preparation for the install.
My install is done. I'm happy with the mod, it was worth my time and money.
The write up is here http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=42833
I somehow posted it in the pictures section. I'm hoping GURUERROR can move it for me so that link might change.
Hope it helps... for those who buy and install the headers let us know how it goes for you.
