I think everyone that has installed headers on the CTS-V and tell all of us that it is the best mod to do are sitting back ROTFL!!!!!!! This is a nightmare!! I would rather put a maggie on again. Driver side was easy, maybe 2 hours. Passenger side is hell!!!! My tuner said he would more than likely not use two of the o2 cencors. what 2 would he not use?
Nonsense... I was a virgin until I installed my headers. After the install I had my choice of women from the tri-county area. So I did what any thinking man would do... I went with the highest dowry.
Without my headers my village would have 3/4 less livestock.
I'm guessing you have done this a couple of times rand.
Header install was a cake walk, try to change a flywheel in your garage.
A couple of the bolts next to the battery box are a bit painful but other than that it was easy. I found a nice tool to remove the plug boots so no problem with that either. I went with the B&B's, nice fit no leaks.
After doing much work on my Fbody, from spark plugs with stock manifolds to clutch to 383cu in. pull out, drop in. (all in my garage)... let me tell you, the V is like an open field, walk in the park, so much more room especially from the top. The ws6, half the motor is under the dash lip.
Everything is buttoned up! Kooks 1 7/8 no cats, and a 10% overdrive crank pulley. I put the factory cat back system back on, man she is quiet ajain. She will get tuned tuesday or thursday, is 50hp gain out of the question?
Think that is bad. Try changing headers on a Modular Ford. Now that is a PITA. Hell you dont even have to take the motor mounts loose. This car is a breeze to work on.
*edit* I shake my head at guys that pay to have work done. CC racers suck.
Wow. I always wondered if that would happen with these header wraps, but since no one ever mentioned it, I assumed it didn't. When the smoke clears let us know if you see lower engine temps!
Wraps are stinky/smokey as heck for a while. Just wait for the first rainy day! :lol:
