I can't say for the EGT sensor but the install for the header should be generally the same. There is no major changes in design so you can follow them.

Thanks a lot, but actually this header seem to have wider runners. I'm afraid I will get the header out and then I cannot get the new one back in.

I'm just curious why do you need the EGT gauge for your car? Your car is NA then why would you bother install one? Correct me if I'm wrong.

If it was a turbo car, a J's header would be useless.

xviper's directions will work, if you install it from the top.

If you choose to install from the bottom of the car, removing the engine mount gives you the room needed to get some headers in. (Toda and Comptech)

389RWHP from a S/C assuming you are changing the header. Nce # for a S/C
What psi are you running ?

I helped a friend out replacing a header. It was a Rick's + 2

We put the thing in from under the car, We had to lift car around 3feet.
