Check to make sure you received the proper parts for your application. The header number will be stamped on the engine flange. If you are unsure you have received the proper parts call before you start work.
Be sure to work safe! Whenever you work under the vehicle be sure that it is located on level, solid ground and is supported by adequate safety stands! Remember: Hot asphalt will not support most jack stands!
Many factors affect the installation of headers, some of which are broken or aftermarket motor mounts, accidents that impact the configuration of the frame, and/or the installation of different engines or after­market cylinder heads.
Attention Customers breaking in new engines: Due to the extreme heat generated during the break-in process, the appearance of the ceramic coating may be altered in certain areas. The protection character­istics and thermal barrier properties of the coating is never compromised. It is recommended that a cast iron manifold or old set of headers be used for this process.
Notice: The coating of these headers can be marred or scratched during installation. If the header needs to be returned and is damaged, you will be charged for recoat.
JBA uses sealing beads on all its headers. We have found that when installed correctly, the raised bead around each port increases the pressure exerted on the gasket directly adjacent to the port and effectively prevents leak­ing gaskets. It is normal for the flange to be raised off the cylinder head the thickness of the sealing bead. It is important when installing the header, to install all bolts loosely, then tighten evenly to ensure the flat installation of the flange. The torque sequence from one flange to another will vary, but generally every bolt on a header should be first fit snug, starting from the inside of the flange working out, alternating from top to bottom so that the bolt connects the flange to the manifold to the point where they barely touch. Second, using the same
inside-out pattern, tighten each bolt until nished. This method will help prevent leakage and will give the user
the best possible performance out of their pair of headers.
1. Place vehicle in a location where the floor is solid and flat, with adequate lighting. Do not attempt to work on a hot engine. Heat causes metal to expand and makes removal of fasteners difficult at best. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery. Raise the front of the vehicle to obtain adequate access to the bottom exhaust manifold flanges. Use large-base jack stands to support the vehicle. Do not rely on the jack! Block the tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the jack stands.
2. Spray WD-40 or some type of penetrating oil on all accessible fasteners and fittings before attempt­ing to remove them.
3. Start by removing the factory y-pipe. Unbolt the y-pipe from the rest of the exhaust system and the stock manifolds and disconnect the 02 sensors.
4. Next, loosen the EGR tube from the driver side manifold.
5. Remove the nuts attaching the manifolds to the heads. Remove the manifolds. Now remove the studs from the heads. Use the supplied header bolts in their place.
6. Remove the dipstick by unbolting the factory bracket.
7. Using a scraper remove all carbon deposits and high spots from head surface, use care not to gouge the aluminum heads.
8. From underneath the vehicle, slip the new headers into place. Apply a small amount of anti- seize to the threads of the supplied bolts before tightening.
Passenger Side:
With the passenger side simply slide the header into place and install using the supplied gasket and
hardware. Torque to 23 ft/lbs.
Driver Side:
Slide the dipstick through the header into its hole. Make sure it is seated well. Loosely attach the EGR
tube. Using the supplied gasket and hardware install the header and torque to 23 ft./lbs. Now tighten the EGR tube and dipstick bracket.
9. Apply a small amount of Hi-temp RTV (sensor safe) around the exhaust pipe flares. Reinstall the fac­tory y-pipe using the supplied hardware. Then reconnect the O2 sensors.
10. Recheck everything. Make sure there is adequate clearance on all lines (vacuum, brake, A/C, fuel)
11. Reconnect the battery cables.
12. Start the engine, check for leaks and test drive. Then let engine cool and then re-torque the header bolts.
13 Periodically check and retighten the header bolts.
