FINAL ASSEMBLY FOR STAINLESS WORKS HEADERS
1. Re-install O2 sensors and re-connect and secure wires. We recommend the use of
a small amount of anti-seize compound on the threads of the O2 sensors, but do
not allow the compound to come in contact with the sensor end itself, as this may
damage the sensor.
2. Re-install steering shaft using alignment marks made at disassembly.
3. Re-install plugs and wires.
4. Re-install dipstick using spacer provided and (1) 10mm bolt.
5. Re-install coil packs.
6. Re-install engine covers.
7. Re-install strut tower brace.
8. Re-install air inlet and air box.
9. Re-install engine compartment left and right covers.
10. Reconnect battery.
11. Be sure to have adequate clearance around all wires, hoses and lines. If anything
is in contact with the exhaust system, it will melt. Make sure to have at least
½” of clearance and wrap any suspect areas with DEI thermal barrier wrap.
12. After double checking for clearance and making sure all lines, wires and hoses are
secured, drive the car for 10-20 miles and re-check all clamps and clearances.
Your system may be tack welded at the joints/ clamps to reduce shifting of the
system during heating and cooling cycles. Make certain to disconnect the battery
before performing any welding.
