Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance Headers almost on!!

With all my work changing out the clutch on my car and replacing the CV boots and other misc. items I decided to tackle the headers since they were right there as well.

After about an hour and a half of cussing and swearing I managed to get the front header on. Now I have the worst of the two left with the rear. I'll take some pictures of everything so I can add them to the how-to that was posted already. As I recall there was only one picture, which was the modified EGR down pipe for the WR headers (which I am installing as well).

Key notes for the header install though, I'm not sure what the last how-to was installed on, but the header bolts are 13mm nuts with 5mm studs rather then 15mm nuts with 5mm studs. This was on a 98 SVT so I'm not sure if these changes over the years. However the Y-pipe nuts where 15mm for the Y-pipe to cat connection.
