I know it has been asked but im about to put my L under the knife. I bought some used kooks lt's and mids. THey didnt come with 02 extenders. Are they needed to install my headers? Also any tips and advice is apreciated

also what is the lowest drop i can run with a bassani catback and JL bars

 

extenders are needed. JDM has them that they sell with their kits but there is no way your stock harness will reach. And with the extenders, you can safely route the wires.

Drivers side will fit up from underneath. On the passenger side, removed the ground cable and you can fish them down inbetween the engine and frame.

Word of advise, you can use the stock hardware, but they can be a real pain in the *** to put on. I would use the arp bolts jdm uses and ger yourself a 10mm 1/4 swivel socket and they will be a piece of cake.

Good luck.

 

When you say stock hardware do you mean the bolts holding the headers to the mids? If so i cant get new botls for that. What is the 10 MM used for? I plan on reusing the stock gaskets on the motor but i have new ones for the header/mid.

 

i meant using the stock studs to hold the headers on. It can be done but there are some tricks to it because the header pipe will be so close to the stud that you won't be able to get the nuts on.

JDM uses bolt with 10mm heads

 

I was planning on using all stock studs if it is possible

 

some of the studs you can put in before you put the headers on, some of them you gotta put in after they are up and in there. I think the drivers side you can put the top row in first, then hang the headers on them and put the bottoms in.

On the passenger side, on of the holes in the middle is tricky. The header tube comes real close to the top of the stud, so there is no way to put the nut on. What you have to do is put the nut up against the header, and as you slide the header into place, catch the nut on the stud and thread it down as you put the header against the block. It sucks when you have it all bolted up and it's the last one you do and realize it's all gotta come apart again. Trust me!!

 

next question

I have about 50 studs i use for my race cars. They fit 350 chevy blocks. WIll they work on the L?

 

Don't know if they will work. I know the stock ones will work fine, just a couple little tricks, that's all.
