Exhaust headers

#1 PostAuthor: Mrt20LTD » Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:00 pm

Hi guys - are there any top tips to help install the exhaust headers please? I’ve got a set I’m fitting where the header pipes are all in one piece - so it needs to go on in one go - I’ve had one attempt at it but one cylinder is blowing. All seems a bit of a juggling act with the headers collars and collets - just wondering if I’m missing a trick?

Thanks.

Hi Matin

use rubber bands to hold the collets together at the right place, cutand remove them after installment.
