Default [AUS]Header install

My t1r header is supposed to arrive in the mail on monday, and I just so happen to be off that day and the day after. I removed my OEM header just for giggles a few months ago to see how hard it was. I had my friend come over (who now lives 3 hours away) with his large jack stands and it seemed easy enough.

My problem is that I have smaller jack stands, and a smaller floor jack and I dont think I'll be able to get my car high enough to get the headers out. Anyone up for helping out? I can compensate with beer

if you can get your car about 10 inches off the ground you should be fine i have done the headers on 3 cars and thats all ihave need. if you more help just go to walmart and buy the ramps you just roll you car on and that should do like $25/$30

I've replaced the header on both my AP1 and AP2 and was able to do both with all four corners on jackstands. I have the Craftsman 3-ton jack stands. They're 12" at the shortest height and I had them on the 2nd or 3rd click up and was able to maneuver the header out.

Header install is complete. The sound of my car has changed way more than I expected. T1r response headers came in the mail and look amazing (even though it took evasive 6 months to get them to me lol)

Took it out on lime creek road for a test drive
