OMG, I need help and quick.

I cant, for the life of me, disconnect the steering linkage to get the driverside header into place. The instructions say to just pull the linkage up about 1/2" and then back and it should come out of the U Joint. I can pull the linkage out about 1/2" and then nothing. I dont know what to do.

Go under the steering column under the dash inside the car. There you will find a 1/2" head bolt or 13mm if I remember correctly, remove that bolt and you should be able to push the shaft through a little, then crawl back under the car and you can pull it out enough to pass your header.

 

That did the trick, thank you so much.

Those $%&#ing instructions are so bad. Mechanical know how... I have that but apparently you need a little luck too, I have none of that.

BTW, the instructions also tell you to cut the H Pipe 4" after the hangers, guess what though, its too short. You need to measure at least 5" from the end of the welded hanger bracket. I might have to buy a new mid pipe now.

Guess we won't hear that "open header" clip tonight, eh?

 

Not tonight cause its after 10pm. I finally had to fire it up for like 20 seconds so I could move the car from across the street into my driveway.

IT SOUNDS SO $%&#ING AWESOME, ITS MENACING.

My H-Pipe is short of the Collector so I have some more work to do tomorrow. I might have to drive it into a local exhaust shop so they can weld me in some extensions or something.

Don't weld it up until you get the sound clip!!!

 

I'll fire it up again in the morning and take the clip, I may need someone to step back about 20 feet though, this $%&#ers loud.

An uncorked Modular sounds like an old school big block btw.

One more thing, copied from my main install thread...

Can I just have my tuner turn off the rear oxygen sensors so I dont have to connect the harnesses? I'd rather not have to wait on a part to arrive on Tuesday.

Yes. Check my reply to your other thread.
