Default full length install

im doing a bunch of research and was wondering about problems of installing full length headers on a 87-93 fox body, just personal experiences.. things u had to change around, other new parts u had to get, etc.

Just did a set on a fox.. i think they were hedman, 15/8th primaries and 3" collector... the driver side went right in.. the passenger side required us removing the starter, motor mount, jacking the motor up, then slide everything in simultaneously (start/mount/header) Was a pretty straight foward job, both headers went in from the top this way, but I'm sure there is an easier way.

top or bottom, you usually have to drop the starter and/or jack the motor up on the passenger side.....but worth the throuble...

your definately going to have to pick the motor us a little, if you take your steering shaft out i'm sure it would make the drivers side easier too.
