Just got a set of the SW headers from Jason at Juiced motorsports. They look great.

And where a great deal. Cant wait to get them installed. Any tips on the installation would be appreciated. hoping its a breeze.

It is very easy. I did it in my garage on jackstands.

Take your time and remember the higher you can get it (safely) the easier they are to slid in. Make sure everything is fitting to your satisfaction and that you aren't hitting anywhere before you tighten all the bolts....Make sure you can get your fingers in between the exhaust and body....That's where rattles come from.

Oh, and thanks for the shout out!

Drivers side is a bit harder. You will need to remove steering shaft. Better have someone help as you bolt it up.

Yep, I plan on a tune in the spring. Heard there is o2 spacers to keep from throwing the CEL. But dont quote me on if there effective or not.

What a nice X-Mas gift to yourself! You will love the new sound and power from the exhaust. Install on the Camaro isn't too bad as there is quite a bit more space comparing to some of the others in the LS-Family. Just make sure everything is clear and free to any frame parts, steering shaft, anything on the car that might allow it to rattle before snugging everything down. Place your clamps so they do not hang, but allow for easy access in the event an adjustment is needed. Finally enjoy the new sound and for good measures it is always a good idea to check over all the bolts and clamps after a heat cycle.

Same ones I have, you'll be happy with them

You will have to disconnect the steering linkage to get the driver side up there - don't even waste your time trying without doing so, been there done that

Merry Christmas!

I would suggest spraying the o2 sensors with some penetrating oil prior to trying to get them off. Maybe the night before. If it still gives you trouble, heat the bung, not the sensor, with a torch. That should do it.

My Kooks headers went in without having to disconnect the steering. In fact, I had so much room, I had enough room to leave the padded packing material on them to prevent scratching while getting them in place.

Enjoy the new sound and power.

M Miller69 · 12-29-2011, 01:41 PM

Thanks everyone for the tips! Got them on today and it was a breeze. Even tackled it by myself. Steering rod removel was a must. the car sound awesome!
Happy new year!
