header install?

[HellsDRifteR]

I have a '96 Integra GS-R and have some OBX ceramic headers chilling in my room and its killing me. No matter how hard i look online i cant seem to find a good site with a step by step walktrough (with pics) for the installation. Please i dont wanna hear any thing about your opinion on obx headers and how much dc ones are better. I plan to drop in a turbo kit in a year or so anyways. So i want the headers in for some minimum hp gain and low rpm bite. If any one has installed headers on their teg i would love any quick walktroughs or suggestions. Thanks!

The main site is a good site for general integra stuff.

Remove the dip stick and the stock head shield from the stock manifold. There are 3 bolts holding the headshield in place. Then remove the 12mm nuts that hold the manifold to the head and then disconnect the stock header from the catylitic converter by unbolting to the two 14mm bolts/springs from under the car. You will also need to remove the 2 bolts holding the manifold to the support bracket. If there is an O2 sensor on the header, it will also need to be removed. Drop theheader down from the bottom and insert the new header and set into place.

Once the new header is set onto the head, bolt it to the head with the original nuts and bolts. From under the car, you can see where the flange on the new header needs to go back onto the support bracket. Bolt it into place and line up the new header with the catylitic converter.

With the new header lined up, install the O2 sensor back into the new header if you had to remove it in the previous step. Tighten down the 2 x 14mm bolts/springs and make sure the donut gasket is properly inserted between the header and catylitic converter before tightening the bolts down. Double check everything before lowering the car to the ground, and start up the car. You may see some light smoking and smell the new metal burning off as the engine warms up. It will go away shortly.

Abridged Version: detach the O2 sensor,unbolt old mani, bolt on new header, attach O2 sensor, start car...
