Rear Exhaust Header

[Mitchell]

I pulled my S-Trapps & rear headers for jet hot coating and the coater had a little issue with the "right side" #3 cylinder header. I went ahead and picked up the S-trapps and the "left" #1 cylinder header in hopes of getting one side installed this weekend.

Anyway, when I removed the headers, I forgot which header had to come out first? Anybody know which rear header pipe needs to go back in first:ummm:

So nobody knows which pipe goes in first:ummm: OK, maybe it doesnt matter then:confused2:

i don't think it matters at all. whichever way you can get them both in there to spec...

Think I fed #1 cyl. pipe in first, about 1/2 way, then #3 cyl. pipe, again about 1/2 way, then brought them up the rest of the way together.

Personaly I used to remove and install both at once. Much easier tho.

I haven't had my exhaust off since May but I think with my Mark's it did matter. Like Danny said, the header for the #1 cylinder needs to be first in then before tightening it down maneuver the other pipe in.

Thanks guys. I'll play it safe and wait to get the other header back.

I've fed the fronts first, then the rear cyls. All 4 pipes were loose, then after I got them aligned, I tightened up the lot.
