Latinwrlord Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Finally got around to installing my dynatech full length headers with 3" x-pipe and high flow cats. After the tedious choir of putting them on and being aggravated due to scratching the ceramic finish in a couple of contact points. Dam it was tight getting them in. Anyway put k memeber back up, motor mounts in, go up top to put everything back to get on the drivers side. Go to the passenger side and bam. Egr tube is driving me nuts! Can't get it to thread on. What the hell! Has anybody else had this issue? Need advice, wanted to drive car this weekend. Worst case I guess I could install a egr delete kit. But would take 3-5 days to get here. Want to drive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinwrlord Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Unscrewed the fitting off the stock manifold. Compared it to the dynatech fitting welded on the header. They look the same. Threads are not messed up. Just aggravated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert OHara Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 It took me a little while to get the alignment right , I didn't tighten any thing till every bolt was in and had a helper to move the header around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinwrlord Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Update: It is in! The threads on the header are more aggressive vereses the stock was more rounded. Took a flat head screw driver and scared the inside of the egr tube. Did this 4-5 times. To deepen the thread depth. Put it back in the car and walla. Right,on like butter. A lot of people complain about the oil dipstick. Mine was the egr tube, go figure. Now to tackle the cat back hook up. They should offer an kit to connect the 3" to the 2.5". Went and bought a bunch of adapters and clamps. Time to see which ones work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09VaporSilver Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I had same problem, the alignment was off just enough to create problem. Then once started it took a lot to get it to thread down, PITA for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinwrlord Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I totally agree. Next time may have to break down and pay the $550 to the shop. Its just she is my baby and I wanted the wrench time to claim I built the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
