2010 Corvette C6 Z06 Headers Install Part 1 (Corvette ZR1 Header Install)

[@thesudzy22]

Thank god someone finally made a vid. What size headers did you use? And what kind of air compressor and impact do you have?

[@backyardchevy328]

Sudzy sudman Glad i could help😊...1&7/8 headers with xpipe...its an ingersoll rand impact..dewalt air compressor

Nice video. I'm gonna buy a Milwaukee m12 cordless ratchet before I do mine.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂...yea i recently got a m12 3/8 impact wrench, love that thing.

Leave the manifolds attached to the cat pipe at the flanges and remove them from underneath as a unit.

[@backyardchevy328]

I was hoping I could lol...but on my first takes that was a fail..it has to be separated.

[@bdun1226]

Backyard Chevy I took mine off as a unit like that, and still had trouble getting the nuts off!

[@backyardchevy328]

and it was a ls7 z06? maybe I didn't try hard enough I guess lol...I remember it getting stuck between firewall and lower frame area

[@bdun1226]

Backyard Chevy yes, 2009 z06 and i didn't raise the engine either, was years ago but i seem to remember one side pretty much fell out other side had to wiggle

[@bdun1226]

Backyard Chevy ,,,,i hope you got your valve guides checked!

Wish I could have loaned you one of my three 3/8" drive SnapOn air ratchets from tool box #3. Use good 6 point impact swivel socket to prevent rounding off the 6 point nuts & bolts. But, I don't own a corvette, it's all in the wrist. Retired ASE Master Tech.

[@backyardchevy328]

That was done from the previous owner..they had headers installed and sold it with the original exhaust...so I was basically redoing the header install...they stripped the threads on one stud and stripped the head on one of the nuts.

Is this an English language video?

[@backyardchevy328]

Yes, but unfortunately i wasnt that good at speaking on video back then.

[@larid1069]

air ratchet save you 50%

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea it sure does save time, for my videos i try to use regular hand tools though, when im not recording i do use my air ratchets and impacts to save time.
