Replacing a 4 into 1 exhaust header

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by paulcalf, May 11, 2017.

  1. How easy is it to change a 4 into 1 header for another one

    Will it require removing all tin wear?

    Any tips gratefully received

    Type one engine

    Thanks
     
  2. Easy. Remove the rearmost tin and you have access to the top head studs, and the lower clamps that fix the exhaust to the HX's or j tubes if you have them.
    There are only about 6 screws, plus removing any ducting and the foam seal.

    The only issue will be the ends on the old one will have learnt to point in the correct direction and line up with the studs.
    The ends on the new one if a Bugpak/EMPI (same these days) may be pointing in random directions.. Spanish windlasses and hammers may be needed....

  5. Thanks Mike

    The new one isn't an empi or a bug pack, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I don't need to bust MC Hammer out

    What could possibly go wrong .... :thinking:

    It's easy or a right nightmare
    Depends if the studs snap or not

  8. Should I have spare studs to hand just in case then?

    If so what size are they please
