OBX Header install....?
 
Hey guys,

I got my headers back from JetHot last week and after sitting here for months, they're finally going in! I'm more than 2/3's done, everything is out, everything just needs to go back in. I had to stop for the night because I need a new "Donut" gasket, mine was destroyed...

Anyway, my qeustion to you is; In Ken's write-up on MSProtege, he says to leave the stock gasket in place, but do you think I should take that off and use the Gasket supplied by OBX or stick with the stock one?

Thanks as always fella's!
Scott.

And another thing, what'd you guys do with the wire for the 2nd O2 sensor?

always use a new gasket when available.

what wire?? you mean for the sensor itself? my obx header had a bung for the sensor just before the bottom flange. did yours not?

Alrght, will do.

And I mean the wire to the sensor. Like on the stock system it had those little spiral things that held it away from the exhaust, but where did you run it with the OBX, which doesnt have those....? I dont think it would be too good to just let it rest up against the header....
