Stillen Headers installed - Review/Pics/Vid/Dyno

griff5k · 05-07-2012, 05:12 PM

I just tackled the Stillen Header Install, it took myself and a buddy a full day, i would say 10-11 hrs. It is a PITA, however it is very doable, i wanted to not even start after hearing all the people on here complain like grade school. but im glad i did it myself, saved a lot of money.

To clear it up for anyone else who is curious:
I used the stock gaskets, they are metal, and will do fine.
yes the passenger side is waaaay easier.
You will want a bunch of swivel/ 14mm socket combos
i only used 14mm 10mm and a 12 once or twice.
get a set of rotating-ratcheting wrenches, life saver.
And wear a damn glove.
i by no means am a mechanic, if you can take your tire off, you can do this.
