This should tell you everything. However, I remember some people posting about broken engine mounts a while after they cut them.

Rep Power: 0 Unbolt the front motor mount (2 from above 1 from below, and the cross bolt) and slip the header in from below, easy job. If you are like me and your mount was already ripped to crap at stock power with 40k on it, then just fill it full of 3M window weld and let sit for a day or two to cure. $3 polyurethane mount, and you don't have to replace the broken one

It can still be tight. If it is still not going get a jack under your engine and move it up just a bit.

Rep Power: 323 yup. just remove the front mount entirely and raise the engine a bit. Its tight and it goes in, in a wierd angle but it will fit without bending or cutting anything.

Rep Power: 298 Dam HP, you should have gotten the Kamikazi header man, direct bolt on! You shouldnt install anything that you have to cut/shave in order to make it fit IMO. But yea you need to get an 02 sim asap!
Some people say the o2 sim will make the car faster because it affects fuel mapping, but others say that the sims are simply to keep the engine light off, and that it does nothing to improve horsepower. Your thoughts....?

Rep Power: 811 Does nothing for hp. That 02 sensor is only to tell the ecu that your cat is working. The a/f is calculated from a different sensor.
Use a dremel to cut the subframe (with a metal grinding tool).

i have the same thing you do on my car the light will still come on but only if you race for about a day... when i say day i mean off and on all day long. the light will then come on but if you drive like a grandma (shifting @ 3k) then the light will go off. ive had mine on for about 3 months now and i dont have sims yet. the light will come one but dont freak like they said its just your o2 sensors
