This weekend I finally have time to install the TOG headers.
Anybody have any advice?
I have the gaskets and the beer already. I've soaked the bolts in PB blaster a few times already.

Also, I'm changing the tranny fluid / filter, installing zzp shift kit, throwing a smaller pulley on the paxton setup, O2 sensor, new plugs, new tune, etc.

Thanks,
Bill

Advice?

Have a friend on hand for "sliding" the rear header in and for bolting the rear of the crossover in.

And make sure the crossover is where you want it before tightening the front header...

Do you have the pre-bent dipstick? i thought i remembering togs needing that.

Other than that, get ready for saying "How is this going to work?!"

Just kinda wiggle it around a lot and have someone there with you to be under the car to feed the crossover/ rear manifold to

Yeah, what those guys said.

Get ready to bend yourself in some fun positions trying to drop the rear one in.

Thanks.
I have a spare dipstick tube to bend around. I've got a conduit bender I was gunna try to do the bends with, but we'll probably need to get creative.
Anyone use high-temp RTV in addition to the gaskets?

yes. i used copper RTV on the y-collector. And lots of it. But they still leak.

But you should have better luck with TOGS. I would use RTV.

I have a set of togs and my egr valve that connects to the header is still leaking after going through a tube of high temp rtv...... It ticks only when I floor it.....

do the penny mod. thats what i did!

whats the penny mod?

Something Ghetto and Rice!


j/k

You can use a penny to block the EGR valve.

lol...you sir are correct!

It's a little ghetto, but it works. I'm doing it when I install my S&S headers this week sometime or maybe this weekend.

Well they're in, thats all I have time to say right now.

Been there. I know how you feel.

Updates when you get a chance please.
