no bolt-on experience yet but looking forward to it -- here are notes i took to take with me under the car -- 2013 camaro SS, L99, all stock (hes using a wrench, not overly long socket, no torque wrench) 1. remove 8 spark plug wires (from above) 2. on drivers side disconnect O2 sensor from back side of rear cylinder head closest to firewall 3. remove 6 bolts holding the factory exhaust manifold to the cylinder head -it will drop, dont hurt spark plugs -remove factory gasket carefully (get new?) 4. On passenger side disconnect O2 sensor from the top 5. remove bolt holding dipstick to cylinder head 6. remove dipstick assembly from base 7. remove 6 bolts holding the factory exhaust manifold to the cylinder head - dont let it hurt spark plugs when drops - remove gasket carefully 8. diconnect rear O2 sensors (1 on each side) -- disonnect it on the side closest to the car NOT the exhaust 9. unbolt manifold from exhaust (1 at a time, remove, repeat) 10. move manifold fwd, remove from engine bay 11. remove steering shaft (later reinstall with locktite) 12. put the driver side header in place 13. put the passenger side header in place 14. he got new factory manifold gaskets - make sure correct orientation gaskets (put inline with Stainless Power header holes) - bolt header and gasket down to cylinder head using provided hardward (?) - tighten bolt - repeat on passenger side header & gasket 15. reinstall dipstick, make sure bottom part goes correctly into oil pan - bolt to cylinder head 16. reconnect steering shaft / tighten bolt / use loctite! (eh maybe its just a torque thing rather than loctite bc there is no nut) 17. install catted connection pipes / adapters to (my) stock exhaust - rotate so O2 sensor sideways facing inward - put 02 sensors back in after Cat (rear ones normal wrench, front provided EXTENSION HARNESS) SO HE HAS THIN CLAMPS 1" WIDE ON EACH SIDE OF THE CATS, AND A BUTT WIDER 4" CONNECT AFTER CAT PIPE WITH O2 SENSOR ***TO*** THE REAR STOCK EXHAYST 18. Connect front O2 before Cat, using EXTENSION HARNESSES provided 19. reconnect the car side of all 4 O2 sensors 2 on each side, 1 on each side of the CAT - he wrapped the cord around the black cord organizing cover before plugging in (after cat ones) - same on pre-cat ones 20. consider new spark plug wires with ceramin boot (petronix?) 21. install spark plug wires 8 to complete installation 22. update tune to eliminate the check engine light

I love how these videos make everything seem so easy...

[@chadcoady9025]

Its pretty easy when you have a lift.

[@viewingcheese34]

Great video!

[@PhastekPerformance]

😁

[@pali1H]

Good video. I'll be ordering some 16+ taillights soon. I have a car on the way from Kansas that I just bought. Super excited!

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

Great information thanks!

[@PhastekPerformance]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rudy.shernandez3584]

I.m sorry for my question but if l buy long tube headers and I not need catalytic converter ???

[@taylorhoffman4859]

He’s really working that ratchet

[@josevee3050]

Did you mark the steering link so u knew where it was placed originally?

[@See_through866]

Can confirm 40 hp isn’t much but it’s a huge improvement

[@hatch450sx3]

Mix that with e85 and a tune you have a serious jump.

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

you get 1 HP with headers and tune not 40hp LOL i just dyno mine after the Stainless Power headers install and its about the same as before with CAI and a Borla S Type Catback

[@Chewie374]

I never knew Andy Ruiz also host Phastek

[@angmed6582]

🥊

[@denniswarren5871]

How to get a tune afterwards?

[@killer15310]

How did you get the cat attached to the mid pipe? Stuck on that part now, no matter where I adjust the mid pipe it’s like the cat delete pipe is too long

[@PhastekPerformance]

For the 5th Gen Camaro's most system will connect with out any issues unless you have something that is specific to the manufacturer of the headers or the exhaust you have. Typically most header systems will use the factory connection point. It just depends on the combination you have.

[@zenaku1245]

What size is the factory exhaust cupler that connects to the o2 pipe

[@PhastekPerformance]

The factory coupler is 2.5".

[@seymonwhite]

I need atheist 100 hp. L99 400hp...was thinking should have gotten a stick

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

one more question when you put up the headers from underside how do you make them to stay? do you have a hook or something? it almost feels like you need two people for this one that puts up the headers and one that grabs them from top.

[@PhastekPerformance]

Hook them on the sparkplugs, just dont break the sparkplugs (Be Gently)

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

@@PhastekPerformance lol that sounds risky but i will give it a try

[@PhastekPerformance]

@@thebossnocompetition8757 If the car has a misfire after you install the headers, then you most likely cracked a plug. I know this first hand. Be Gentle.

[@ciscogomez73ify]

Surprised that it sounds deeper with those suitcase mufflers

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

One question: why can you remove the stock manifold without removing the steering shaft but you cant put the new headers on without removing it? also what Torque is the steering shaft bolt at? thanks

[@PhastekPerformance]

The larger primary tubes for the headers wont allow them to squeeze through the gap between the cylinder head and the steering shaft. Thats why it needs to be removed. I am not sure on the torque spec for the steering shaft bolt.

[@whiskeysaint5609]

I managed to get my Speed Engineering headers in without removing the steering shaft

[@mmsellout9265]

What is the full exhaust setup I want this exact sound.

[@PhastekPerformance]

I believe that is an MBRP exhaust.

[@MesaMinis]

Don’t go to a mechanic be a man, watch KZbin. I installed Speed engineering header & didn’t need to move the steering shaft

[@edgarp6644]

Good video how much horsepower did it make

[@PhastekPerformance]

Typically you will see about a 20-25rwhp increase with out a tune. Although a tune is needed to adjust the air/fuel ratio for the added headers.

[@oscarsanchez9336]

Is the long tube headers tha you installed or short tube headers

[@alisonalan6900]

What are the tools used in this video?

[@PhastekPerformance]

Here is a list of tools that were used. 10mm socket 13mm socket 15mm socket 3/8 ratchet 7/8 wrench

[@randallsammons347]

Damn wish he was more specific on getting the dipstick installed again lol

[@tcrusher2232]

What’s the intake on that?

[@PhastekPerformance]

That is the Holley INTECH intake. Here is a link for that product so you can see it. www.phastekperformance.com/Holley-iNTECH-Cold-Air-Intake-p/holley-223-02.htm

[@CarlosPerez-ri6fd]

How did you get the steering collumn back on so easy?

[@PhastekPerformance]

Patience and a little bit of WD40 😉

[@albertoh2568]

😂 wd 40 and lube and patience

[@KeefyBoy99]

Looking to buy them for my 14 ZL1 how’s the quality & sound with stock cat back exhaust?

[@PhastekPerformance]

Quality is top notch, they are a great budget header that performs with the best. As for the sound, personally, the sound with the factory exhaust on a ZL1 is great. Its not too loud at idle but is very noticeable when the throttle is applied and the valves open.

[@seymonwhite]

whats the torque rating for the exhaust manifold/header bolts?

[@PhastekPerformance]

18ft/lbs will be what you want to torque the header bolts too.

[@seymonwhite]

Thanks

[@WulfTakahashi]

How long were the spark plug wires you installed? 10" or 12"?

[@PhastekPerformance]

We use these on the 5Gen: www.phastekperformance.com/Pertronix-Flame-Thrower-Spark-Plug-Wires-Black-p/prtnx-828224ht.htm

[@triggas80]

What do you do if you break bolts?

[@PhastekPerformance]

That is going to be a fun one. To fix it correctly, you will have to take the cylinder head off and work at getting the remaining of the bolt out from there. You might have to drill the holes and work the rest of the bolt out from there or make new threads. Either way take your time with this fix and best of luck!

[@seymonwhite]

Lol helllllknawl!!! Torque is very important.

[@jefferyhlatko9845]

What HP gains did y'all see from these over the stock manifold?

[@PhastekPerformance]

Once tuned these headers gained us about 30rwhp over the stock manifolds and factory tune.

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

@@PhastekPerformance can you send that tune to me ;)? i got 1 HP increase with these headers on my L99 Camaro SS 2015. i also have a custom tune from DSP Performance Motorsports installed but that one doesnt seem to do anything. quite an disappointment power wise but sound wise its alot better of course.

[@seymonwhite]

I'm not sure if anyone ask this already; what kind of headers were used? I don't wanna spend $1500.00 on Cooks Headers... I was thinking spd engineering...any thoughts?

[@seymonwhite]

Thanks for your help. SS chevy#1

How much does it cost for y’all to install long tube headers on 5th gen camaro ss

[@PhastekPerformance]

Unfortunately, we don't do installs at this time.

[@osamaabdulla7715]

In the after, stock resonator and muffler?

[@PhastekPerformance]

Yes, the exhaust portion of this install did have the factory resonator and muffler.

[@thynysan]

Geez, this is so much easier than the 6th gen. 🤦

[@PhastekPerformance]

Yes it is!

[@johngotti1371]

Header bolts are 13mm. Also, dont disconnect your fucking drive shaft if your doing it on jack stands. Damn near impossible to get back together

[@olial8342]

why would you disconnect drive shaft ?

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

+30whp with headers? what a joke! the real number is +1HP with tune LOL you buy headers for the sound only not for any power increase. the stock manifolds on the 5th gen SS are already optimized.
