How to install LT headers? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I haven't installed LTs on a 5th Gen but have installed about six sets total on 4th Gens.

I'd say to start with removing the negative battery cable

Jack the car up and get it safely on jack stands as high as you can

Pull the plug wires and plugs

Pull the dipstick

Pull the steering shaft

Loosen the intermediate pipes, post cats'

Remove the cat' pipes

Remove the manifolds from under the car

Clean the gasket flanges

Slide the LTs into position and bolt them in

Add the cats' and/or mid-pipes and align to the headers

Put everything else back together

Test for leaks and get a tune

Obviously a little abbreviated but I think one should get the point

3rd gen shorty headers go through the top. do it all the time. you do have to take youre time if you heat rap them first.

If you want to make the trip to VA, I will install them for you for $300. While you wait. You can even watch if you want.

$300 is cheap if you are close and going to pay someone to do it anyways .

Dude...there is so much room under the engine bay, it's crazy. I should take some pix of my headers on my LS3 just to show you how roomy it is under there.
