@joelviramontes105 Год назад

You don't need a tune, you need o2 sensor extension connectors to connect to the bottom bung hole that reads all 8 cylinders. To do this job it calls for special made o2 sensor connectors otherwise your truck won't run right and will have to go the more expensive route and get a tune if you're using the top bung holes which the tops only reads for 1 cylinder.

I know this video was posted a while ago, but I'm now attempting this and was wondering how you were able to access the 4 bolts holding driver's side and passenger side mount to the block on a 4WD Armada...I can't seem to see an easy way to access them, let alone putting them back.

@jadklafjkejalka 2 месяца назад

Wizard = trickery. he did not show how the exhaust manifold went over the suspension adjusting bolt, it stops the manifold from being removed. I suggest getting an e30 or a set of e sockets and remove the exhaust studs from the head, this allows for a through clean of the gasket surface. Replace the studs with new ones along with new bolts. Not all studs need to be removed I just did this job and hate that the factory manifolds all crack.

You do eliminate one and have to get an UPREV tune which will remove the check engine light.

@titantutorials1594 4 года назад

No you don't lose an o2 sensor installing these. They are built with an extended o2 bung so that the O2 sensor will still fit.

@menjivar76 3 года назад

You don't loose the O2's sensors but you have to tune it, other wise good luck getting your smoke check done.

@joelviramontes105 Год назад

For all the people questioning if you need to tune your truck. The answer is no. Long tube headers were made with 2 bungs. The top which reads 1 cylinder and the bottom bung reads all 8 cylinders. You need special o2 sensor extension connectors to reach the bottom bungs. These extension connectors are very difficult to come across. Whoever needs a link to the parts comment below. It's a piti that this guy didn't tell you guys that you guys need these connectors. Long tube headers calls for o2 extension connectors.

Do you get any insane droning noises with the LT headers? I currently have a nismo catback exhaust and I am looking into getting some headers but I'm worried about droning in the cabin.

Nothing insane. The drone is going to have more to do with the exhaust that goes along with it rather than the headers themselves.

Yes you do or get o2 spacers. But this guy didn't even tell you guys that you need special o2 extension connectors for the bottom bung holes because they don't reach. I purchased mine off a guy who makes them in New Jersey for $110 bucks. Whoever is doing this job let me know who needs them and I can send you a link.

How do you remove the heat shield(s)?

@smokey2strokey505 4 года назад

I had to basically cut mine from the o2 sensor hole that goes through the heatshield to the outside edge of each heatshield so i could just use an open ended 7/8ths wrench to remove the o2 sensor later. I just bent the crap out of it and pulled it out on both headers straight through the bottom of the truck. Its really thin metal but i found that to be the only way other than trying to cut it into small enough pieces in that tight of a space. Its a fairly simple job honestly just take your time

@morganbush2332 4 года назад

check out the videos from ChrisFix on changing out the exhaust in his 98 mustang. Heat the exhaust to operating temp, apply penetrating oil to all fasteners while still hot, repeat for 2-3 days. Day of the install, heat to operating temp, then spray some water on the fasteners while still hot. Sudden drop in temp will often cause the bolts to unfreeze.
