WHEN THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED PRECISELY, YOU WILL FIND THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEM TO BE RELATIVELY SIMPLE. WE CANNOT OVER EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF ADHERING STRICTLY TO THIS PROVEN APPROACH, AS IT WILL VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE ANY DIFFICULTIES, WHICH YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE ENCOUNTER. DUE TO RESTRICTED ROOM IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, YOUR HEADERS MAY COME CLOSE TO CERTAIN BODY AND CHASSIS COMPONENTS. THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR AN INSTALLATION OF THIS TYPE.

GP219S HEADER INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! Gloves or other protection should be worn to protect installer from burns due to hot exhaust components! COSMETIC TIP: Skin oils from your hands and engine compartment grime causes ugly “yellow” spots to appear on the chrome as it “blues” from the exposure to exhaust heat. Disconnect positive battery cable. Then jack up vehicle and place it on jack stands to support vehicle. DO NOT rely on a Jack stand or bottle jack.

IT IS CRITICAL that all bolts be re-tightened HOT after about 20 minutes of operation to prevent gasket failure. NOTE: HEADERS ARE NOT MEANT TO SERVE AS “EXHAUST SYSTEM SUPPORT HANGERS”. Additional hangers may need to be added at the time of the installation of the headers so that THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SUPPORTS ITSELF when the collector bolts are removed.
