Installed headers today on 1LE

Installed kooks headers today with the off road connections. Man man man does this thing sounds good with the NPP exhaust. Install was actually not as bad as some make it seem. I have a sound click of the headers on Instagram @host1le_6gen be sure to give me a follow!!

Sweet im doing same thing this weekend. catless connections and all

1 7/8 or 2 inch ?

did you use the supplied gaskets? did you torque the header bolts? if so how much?

Would you mind posting a sound clip? I don't do social media anymore....
I can never find a clip of npp with catless headers would appreciate

I did 1 7/8
Torqued to 20nm
Yes I used the gaskets supplied. They're better than stock in my opinion..
I'll post now

I'm following your build on IG. I'm going to have mine installed the 24th of this month, but I went catted. Yours sounds absolutely beastly

The borla instructions are pretty straightforward, I must admire. I would say if you have a lift there's no need to remove the exhaust..

It looks like such a pain in the ass compared to the 5th gen. How long did the install take you?

This and what directions did you use? Supplied ones or Oldman or other?

@Usafs @DUB I'd say at least 2.5hrs to 3. I've done a lot of 5th gens and you're right it's more work to do. I don't see how you would do this on jackstands. I followed the Borla directions from the forum. Kooks supply directions but they're black and white vs borla was colored and well detailed.
