I ordered my exhaust and header last week and delivery date is for Thurs. I have a friend comming over Sun. to help me out with the install. I just wanted to know the torque setting on the header for an impact wrench and the trouble I may run into when putting the stuff on. Thanx.

i would think it says in the instruction manual that comes with the product but not for sure.

man u shouldn't need an impact to do exhaust. just go ahead and snap the bolts now...use a socket wrench man!

I'm hoping that was just a typo Impact instead of torque. You don't need an impact wrench for this install. The header torque is 23 ftlbs. The instructions are good and have all of the numbers you will need.

Thanx djmota. Do you like the header and TCS combo? Nice sound?

great sound IMO. Definatly not ricy, nice low bassy sound.

You need to spray all the bolts for the header and exhaust with a liberal amt of wd-40 a few hrs before doing the install. Good luck getting them off if you don't do this step. Trust me, it will makes things a lot easier.

Other than that, it's a matter of unbolting oem parts and bolting in the new parts.

I got my dc header in yesterday. I don't have a deep well socket to get the rest of the bolts off after I got the heat shield off. Oh well, my dad is going up to sears today to get me a set.
