2010-2015 Camaro SS & ZL1 Stainless Power Headers - Phastek Install 

no bolt-on experience yet but looking forward to it -- here are notes i took to take with me under the car -- 2013 camaro SS, L99, all stock (hes using a wrench, not overly long socket, no torque wrench) 1. remove 8 spark plug wires (from above) 2. on drivers side disconnect O2 sensor from back side of rear cylinder head closest to firewall 3. remove 6 bolts holding the factory exhaust manifold to the cylinder head -it will drop, dont hurt spark plugs -remove factory gasket carefully (get new?) 4. On passenger side disconnect O2 sensor from the top 5. remove bolt holding dipstick to cylinder head 6. remove dipstick assembly from base 7. remove 6 bolts holding the factory exhaust manifold to the cylinder head - dont let it hurt spark plugs when drops - remove gasket carefully 8. diconnect rear O2 sensors (1 on each side) -- disonnect it on the side closest to the car NOT the exhaust 9. unbolt manifold from exhaust (1 at a time, remove, repeat) 10. move manifold fwd, remove from engine bay 11. remove steering shaft (later reinstall with locktite) 12. put the driver side header in place 13. put the passenger side header in place 14. he got new factory manifold gaskets - make sure correct orientation gaskets (put inline with Stainless Power header holes) - bolt header and gasket down to cylinder head using provided hardward (?) - tighten bolt - repeat on passenger side header & gasket 15. reinstall dipstick, make sure bottom part goes correctly into oil pan - bolt to cylinder head 16. reconnect steering shaft / tighten bolt / use loctite! (eh maybe its just a torque thing rather than loctite bc there is no nut) 17. install catted connection pipes / adapters to (my) stock exhaust - rotate so O2 sensor sideways facing inward - put 02 sensors back in after Cat (rear ones normal wrench, front provided EXTENSION HARNESS) SO HE HAS THIN CLAMPS 1" WIDE ON EACH SIDE OF THE CATS, AND A BUTT WIDER 4" CONNECT AFTER CAT PIPE WITH O2 SENSOR ***TO*** THE REAR STOCK EXHAYST 18. Connect front O2 before Cat, using EXTENSION HARNESSES provided 19. reconnect the car side of all 4 O2 sensors 2 on each side, 1 on each side of the CAT - he wrapped the cord around the black cord organizing cover before plugging in (after cat ones) - same on pre-cat ones 20. consider new spark plug wires with ceramin boot (petronix?) 21. install spark plug wires 8 to complete installation 22. update tune to eliminate the check engine light

I love how these videos make everything seem so easy...

Great video!

Good video. I'll be ordering some 16+ taillights soon. I have a car on the way from Kansas that I just bought. Super excited!

Great information thanks!

I.m sorry for my question but if l buy long tube headers and I not need catalytic converter ???

Did you mark the steering link so u knew where it was placed originally?

How to get a tune afterwards?

Can confirm 40 hp isn’t much but it’s a huge improvement

He’s really working that ratchet

How did you get the cat attached to the mid pipe? Stuck on that part now, no matter where I adjust the mid pipe it’s like the cat delete pipe is too long

I never knew Andy Ruiz also host Phastek

Surprised that it sounds deeper with those suitcase mufflers

What size is the factory exhaust cupler that connects to the o2 pipe

One question: why can you remove the stock manifold without removing the steering shaft but you cant put the new headers on without removing it? also what Torque is the steering shaft bolt at? thanks

one more question when you put up the headers from underside how do you make them to stay? do you have a hook or something? it almost feels like you need two people for this one that puts up the headers and one that grabs them from top.

I need atheist 100 hp. L99 400hp...was thinking should have gotten a stick

What is the full exhaust setup I want this exact sound.

Don’t go to a mechanic be a man, watch RU-vid. I installed Speed engineering header & didn’t need to move the steering shaft

Good video how much horsepower did it make

What are the tools used in this video?

What’s the intake on that?

Is the long tube headers tha you installed or short tube headers

Damn wish he was more specific on getting the dipstick installed again lol

How did you get the steering collumn back on so easy?

Looking to buy them for my 14 ZL1 how’s the quality & sound with stock cat back exhaust?

What do you do if you break bolts?

whats the torque rating for the exhaust manifold/header bolts?

How long were the spark plug wires you installed? 10" or 12"?

What HP gains did y'all see from these over the stock manifold?

How much does it cost for y’all to install long tube headers on 5th gen camaro ss

I'm not sure if anyone ask this already; what kind of headers were used? I don't wanna spend $1500.00 on Cooks Headers... I was thinking spd engineering...any thoughts?

In the after, stock resonator and muffler?

Header bolts are 13mm. Also, dont disconnect your fucking drive shaft if your doing it on jack stands. Damn near impossible to get back together

Geez, this is so much easier than the 6th gen. 🤦

+30whp with headers? what a joke! the real number is +1HP with tune LOL you buy headers for the sound only not for any power increase. the stock manifolds on the 5th gen SS are already optimized.
