How To Stainless Works Headers

[Yukon Joe]

Welcome to therapy. Lol...

Slim: Hello my name is Slim.

Group: hi Slim

Slim: I am attempting to install my own SW headers. I feel like I'm working in a sardine can and I have trouble getting my truck off the ground.

Group: Hang in there Slim. We've all been there.

Slim: The lowest point came when I was flat on my back laying on the garage floor under the truck. Crying like a ***** in church. Cursing at the top of my lungs. I couldn't get my tool wrapped around my nuts to get them off. [Moment of silence] that's when I realized. I might not make out out alive.

Group: sometimes you have to be willing to follow the path less traveled.

MB: Quite your whining and get back in there! The ***** dropping power of the SW headers is much stronger than you could ever think of. Channel that power into your tool!

Group: go Slim go!

ah yes I remember well, my hands still ache from the memory. I also cussed like a sailor. and I even have a shop and lifts and all the tools. hats off to whomever does tackles this job on the ground as I know a few have.

Yea it's over for me. Only so long I could have the truck laid up neglecting the wife and kid...major credit to anyone who has pulled this off...i surely could not...haha!

Judging from the stories it will be money well spent to let someone else do this when it is time. Or maybe a trip to Daytona, beer, and bribe money.

What're you a girl or something? I found the key to success was walking away, taking a break, and then coming back at it.

Couldn't work with the thong up my ass so deep...it was painful and uncomfortable in my sardine can garage. That and my neighbors got sick of me crying...spit drool and tears were not attractive to my wife haha...

I may give it a other go...right now the drivers side headers are up and installed...fixed my original half assed mounting job. Haven't had time to look into getting that damn starter out though. Pain in the ass thing.

Did you follow the instructions on which header bolts to leave out? I had to raise the engine a little bit more at one point to get some extra clearance. There's also a bolt on the drivers side that if I wouldn't of had the ratcheting wrench, idt I could've got it tight.

I'll PM you my number. If you decide to go at it again you can call or text me.

The key with the passenger side is making sure the only thing mounted is the stock manifold. Remove the studs and then caress it out of there.

YJ is right we have all kind of been there with this install. I just finished UCA install and that job was a PITA too on a 2010 rusty truck.

after a shit ton of swearing, bleeding, sweating, a little crying, some whining, the occasional dirty diaper (i think i shit myself twice and pissed myself countless times), i decided to put the thong away and put on that super hero g-string...headers are in! ******** pain in the ass but they are in...i will say, the bolts SW provided were awful...still toying with some as i had thought i was cross threading some but found that i could put in the original bolts without issue. nonetheless these things are in and on to the exhaust and then some final checks.
