Installing Momentum Headers

Rusty

Reading this thread is like reading a "comedy of horrors". Hang in there. It will be done before you know. And you will be very happy listening to it fire up for the first time. Look at it this way. What you are doing is a character builder.

I said the same exact thing, except I did mine in freaking July, 100F weather. Hang in there!

After I heard mine for the first time and drove it down the street, it was all worth it

this is always nice as well, I despise paying someone a crapload of money to do something I could do myself. You have the money in your pocket and the peace of mind knowing it was done right

Hey Alex, when you're done, can you ask the mods to sticky this thread and rename it "why you shouldn't install headers yourself"

this. In my opinion you can't go around bragging and showing off your car if all you did was pay people to do stuff for you lol. There's very few things I don't know how to do on my car, and the things I don't know are quickly being learned. The best thing you can do is ask a crap load of questions and then just get under there and do it. The feeling of accomplishment you get afterwards is totally worth it. Plus when you're showing your car off and people look at you kinda amazed when you tell them nobody has touched your car but you is awesome

I tend to sort of agree. I can understand if you can't do it yourself, but there is a bit of pride to doing it on your own. That being said, I do farm out a lot of my stuff now, not because I can't do it, but with two full time jobs, I can earn more money in the time I would take to do it myself than I have to pay to have it done, and I love freeing a garage space up and leaving my car at Z1 for weeks at a time (not because they are slow, but because they are far away.) I usually drop it off on the way home from a track day in Alabama and pick it up right before the next one when I need stuff done.

Make sure they're not that much of a sucker... Impact wrench will ruin them... IMO you should heat them, then splash water on them to shock the metals
Should come out like a charm
