Doug Thorley Header Install on 2.7

I don't have a lot of mechanical experience my self and wanted to get a header and install it my self. I tried checking different forums to see if anyone had information regarding the subject but haven't found much. Was wondering if anyone has a list of items needed for the install along with pictures of their install. Or if you had issues with the DT header. Thanks.

 

1. Buy Header
2. Did Header come with hardware? If yes, use that. If no, either reuse stock hardware or buy new studs and nuts.
3. Take off old Header
4. Install new Header
5. If new Header does not match up with stock exhaust, reroute. If it does match up, you're done.

 

Here's mine ... Had a hi perf muffler shop install mine , took 3hrs and cost me $80 labor

 

You know a shop that charges $27/hour labor?

 

To answer your question the Doug Thorley header I've got which is a TRI Y Shorty header came with all hardware and header gaskets needed for an easy install

 

Yep !!!

 

Is that a personal connection, or are you willing to share name of the shop with us?

 

I know the owner and have been taking my street /strip car there for almost 10 years . He does have very good prices for anyone needing work !!

 

thank you guys. Have any of you guys had flanges break. I'm just a little hesitant to install the header because I don't want to be in and out of the shop fixing a part that I'd like to get to better my taco.

 

My 2.7 is Supercharged either on a 4.5psi or 8psi tune , this creates a lot of heat for the header . The nickle coating doesn't show any heat damage and the header has been in the motor now since June 2016
