How old is your car? You can just reuse the stockers if they're not in bad shape.

03, 60k miles

Hard to say what kind of shape they are in without seeing them. You'll have to decide once you see them.

i had only like 35k on my 03 and i replaced em.. its better if u do.. just in case. there cheap like 13 bucks each.

 

[myslow1]

replace them. I think my car had 50k and i bought new ones like redtuscani said they are only like 13 bucks a piece.

Sucks for you! Shoulda started on Friday night...not Sunday...lol

 

[korboy]

13 each is 39 dollars. My friend with 60k miles didn't replaced his, it was fine. Unless the gasket breaks or look really crappy, you don't have to replace it. If you see it and think it will leak, you should replace. Rather do it than taking the headers back off to do it again, which is pain-in-the-azz times two!!

okay im in the middle of the install and stuck on something, what do i do about the 02 sensors? i have ssa headers and there are 2 bungs on each of the headers, do i put all 4 sensors in the correct spots? i thought i read that you only used 2 of the sensors, keep in mind i have an 03

 

[drew04GT]

also i have 2 o2 spacers, they go both go on the rear manifold not the front right>?

 

[RedTibby04]

You will use all 4 O2 sensors...but I dont think you will use the spacers..there already isnt enough space, lol.

 

[05Tib]

yep use all o2 sensors in the same place they came from and plug them in the right places to

 

[b-money]

sorry if im off topic but i couldnt find anyone else. i was told by the guy at my exhaust shop that if i install a hihg flow cat and headers ill loose my warranty completely. is this true? i though they just dont cover them!

 

[05Tib]

nope. only if the dealer can prove ur headers caused w/e ur warranty issue is...

Like if ur window motor goes out they cant say "nope u got headers... sorry"

 

[drew04GT]

all done, i put the 2 top o2 sensors in the normal spots but relocated the 2 bottom sensors to the engine bay, not getting any cel :]

 

[05gtautoshark]

pictures. did the headers fit good

 

[05Tib]

no cel is the best part!
