ok so bought the vibrant header, downpipe, and catback exhaust. I have a few questions.
1. How many bolts on the stock header is there to remove; 5 maybe?
2. Ive dont many header/dp/exhaust installs but none on 4 cyl. with the header BEHIND the engine, is this much harder? It seems likes theres a decent amount of space to get your hands in there.
3. being that i have done this numerous times before, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest), how hard would you rate installing this header/dp?
4. Can i do this install with just a socket set? Like are the bolts on the header open enough to fit a socket into?

P.S. when responding, please answer the question and dont just flame me or tell me something thats dumb. im asking these questions just as a precaution to make sure i dont run into any suprises. thanks!

that may help. lots of pics and bolt explanations.

 

1. theres like 10
2. its a pain in the ass. a hoist helps
3. difficulty - 5, annoyance - 9
4. you will need a wrench too, as the sockets sometimes arent deep enough, or catch on the primaries.

ok thanks for the help guys. i appreciate it.
