Header installation

[accordboy00]

I'm going to pick up a SS DC header probably at the end of this week and I have a couple of questions:

1. Is the installation easily done with basic tools and a jack?
2. What are potential problems with a self installation?

A friend of mine says that he will install the header. He installed his header on his 90-something civic. Should I trust him with the installation or should I pay my shop $50 to istall it for me?

Thanks guys

i don't think it will be to hard to change it yourself. the only problem you might run into is the O2 sensor. gotta have the manifold warm a bit to take that out, and a sensor socket.

[accordboy00]

Sensor socket...is that a wrench specifically for the O2 sensor?

[ebpda9]

yup. it will make it easier to take out the sensor witout busting it.

u can do it ur self the expeirence is fun to do it yourself. When putting headers on my 97 accord the down pipe would reach the cat so i had to get an extension made good luck
