ill be installing my j's header this weekend. Ive never done a header install on an s2000 yet. i will be using a lift for the install. does anyone have any tips for me? Is it easier to put this header in from the bottom or from the top.. Ive read so many mixed comments on this. Im guessing it will be easier from the bottom without taking the motor mount loose. Anyways any info anyone can give me or has done a js header install i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

 

bottom is the way to go

with a lift it will be a LOT easier, put the header at a very steep angle with the exit of the header almost pointing at the ground then slide the head flange past the motor mount

If I can do it on jack stand, you can do it on a lift lol

 

will be a piece a cake with a lift.

 

took the cat and facgtory header off tonight.. the hardest part was getting to the back bolt for the heat shield. took a bit to get the bolt loose to pull out the shield.. then trying to get the 2nd to last nut on the bottom side of the header.. Other then that everything came off easy.. header and test pipe should be here tomorrow.

 

TTIWP!!! Haha

 

Fixing to put the header on. Will post a couple pics when I get it out of the box....

New Pics:

 

Wow that thing looks beautiful

 

well im missing the donut gasket guess ill have to wait untill tomorrow to see if honda has one in stock.. if not i may use the factory gasket untill i can get the one it was supposed to come with.

 

How much the header run you? That would sooo go hand jn hand with my j's exhaust!! How's the weight difference vs stock?

 

Thats a sweet looking piece of kit.......(and the rims)

Be sure to pump up some pics with it installed.
