Comptech Header
Does anyone happen to have the install instructions for the comptech header? I got the instructions from comptech a while ago, but it's just a link to their website which is down whenever I try to get on it. Thanks

it's the same with every header. remove the heatshield, then remove the 7 bolts that hold it to the engine, remove the bolt on the transmission mount, remove the spring bolts that hold it to the cat, and find out the easiest way to snake it out of the engine bay (that's the hardest part). make sure you take the donut gasket off of the OEM header and put it on the comptech one.

I was planning on doing this tomorrow. Could you pm me the instructions if you have them as well? It seems pretty straightforwad, but I don't want to miss anything. The only thing that concerns me is the possibly breaking off a header stud. I am planning on spraying them down with WD40 first though. Any tips would be much appreciated.

This is pretty much it but, when it comes to Comptech you will install from below. The OEM header will come out from under the car too.
Here are a few pics of when I installed a Comptech header on my car a few years back.

The header is best for an FI setup.
