Because this is a “Race Only” product, it will not meet emissions standards. As it is a “Race Only” product, it will also cause the “Check Engine” light to be illuminated after three complete driving cycles. This is not a problem for maximum performance. The “Check Engine” light will not cause the engine computer to go into a “Safe Mode”. It is only a system function indicator. Special Note on the handling of your Jackson Racing Stainless Steel header: Congratulations on your purchase of the Jackson Racing Stainless Steel header. This is the finest header on the market today. It is constructed from 100% stainless steel. Including the flanges. It will not rust! But special care must be taken during the installation and handling of the Stainless Steel if you want the tubing to always look good.

If any oil or grease or even finger prints get on the tubing, wipe the tubing down with a solution of mild detergent and water and towel dry. This will leave your header with a non-contaminated surface so that it will turn a beautiful gold color after being run. If oil or grease are allowed to stay on the surface it will discolor the tubing permanently.
Special Note: If you do not have a shop manual, buy one now! It is good to have for any repairs now and in the future.

Tools Needed: 10, 12, 14 sockets and wrenches. You will also need a Oxygen Sensor removal tool or 22mm wrench or socket to remove the stock Oxygen sensors from the catalytic converter and install them in the new Jackson Racing header. Most of these tools are available at your local hardware or auto parts store.

IF YOU ARE NOT A COMPETENT MECHANIC, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS INSTALLATION! ALLOW AT LEAST ONE HOUR FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO COOLBEFORE DOING ANY EXHAUST SYSTEM INSTALLATION WORK. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY! Follow the instruction STEP-BY-STEP, and your installation will be trouble free. If in doubt, CALL! It is also suggested that as you proceed through the installation you read a few steps ahead so that you are sure to catch all notes and hints.
