Default Installing Mugen 4-2-1 Headers on 98 Accord

Anything I should know? Seems fairly simple right. My concern is do I need air power ratchet.

simple straight forward install, you shouldnt use an air power ratchet. just use a normal socket and ratchet and torque the bolts to factory specs.

you might have a little bit of fun getting the bolts of at the end of the flex pipe as well as where it tourns from 4 to 2. It'll take a little effort. Just a FYI.

Go buy a can of Liquid Wrench, or PB Blaster and soak the bolts for a few minutes before attempting to break them loose.

there is also a specific pattern to take off the headers and to put them back on,

i believe you start from center, then criss cross out, kinda like torqin a wheel,
oh and if you dont plan on using a new gasket, be careful with the stock one
and have fun with the o2 sensors, they can be a bitch
and torque em down to specs

exactly...i soaked mine for a couple days. broke em off pretty easily.

the whole thing was not that hard but very tiring and time consuming if you are trying to do it by urself and in the dark.
