for 2 in headers I believe you will need to unbolt the stearing rack.

Watch where the dipstick comes out of so you can have a better idea of how to put it back.
If you dont have a buddy up top holding onto the headers/manifold then take out your spark plugs, its easy to damage them. If you didnt soak your O2 sensors with penetrating oil overnight then have a hand held torch ready to heat up the manifold to get them out. - I had a torch and still couldnt get one out.

Yup remove plugs, if you're a little too low to the ground you'll need to unbolt the steering shaft so don't spin it when it's unbolted or anything like that, you may need to cut the boot off the steering shaft if you have it, use PB blaster and heat w/O2 sensors and don't bother with the rears cause there's no bung for them anyway

I just installed 2" TSP headers Saturday. Took 2 guys about 5 hours start to finish. I did not have to unbolt the steering shaft, had plenty of clearance. Definitely take the plugs out so they are out of the way. The only issue I ran into was the spark plug boots on 2 of the driver side plugs were touching the header when I put them back on. I just had to trim a very little bit of the top of the plug boot so it didn't touch. I got the off road pipes and I am running flowmaster super 10 mufflers...I fell in love with this car all over again after cranking it for the first time after install. Sounds awesome and the power is amazing. Good luck!

Are you able to leave the car down for the two days or so that they take to get there? Or is there someone local? If you paid for them I would just say find someone local and hit up TSP for a refund on them
