DIY or Shop work: Header install
Hello,
I have read lots of emails and seen videos about the install of headers in the ZL1. I still can't find one that walks thru everything. Does anyone have instructions I can use?
Should I just pay for the installation? I was quoted 1k which seems high. I have also seen where there is so many things that need to be removed like the steering shaft, coolant reservoir (need to purge the system), starter, skid plate and plastic covers, etc. Out of everything that I have seen, the coolant portion is what concerns me the most, how do I stop the coolant from leaking if I have to remove the hoses? How to purge and refill the system after? Can I install the headers with just moving the reservoir out of the way?
I have access to a garage, quick lift, tools, and time. I am just hesitant due to unknown. I have done headers in the past for my C6 and my Camaro Gen5. Those were easy.
What should I do? Shop or DIY? I am leaning towards the DIY even if I have to do it over many weeks. I don't drive the car that often.
Any help is appreciated. I have been waiting on my warranty to expire so I can do this mod.
