All Hotshot items are intended for off road use only. Hotshot Performance Inc. will not be responsible for any consequences resulting from your failure to comply with your federal, state and local laws. Hotshot recommends trained professionals perform the installation of mechanical parts, as improperly installed products may lead to unsafe and unreliable conditions. Warranty will not be honored for damage or malfunctions due to improper installation, misuse, unauthorized repair or alterations.

Basic Installation Instructions:

1) This header was designed to be installed from underneath the car, requiring only the removal of the stock manifold and down pipe. The test cars were not equipped with EGR or A/C (they were RACE cars), so if you are installing the header on a car with these items you may need to remove them for the installation. You will need to jack the car high enough (or use a car lift) to slide the header under the car and lift it into place.

2) Start by disconnecting the battery ( you will be working around the alternator), and spraying all nuts with rust buster.

3) Remove stock manifold and down pipe.

4) Place new gasket on head, and install header. Leave ALL nuts loose.

5) Under car, use 4 Allen bolts and attach secondary tube to header. Use copper gasket between header and secondary. Using a ball driver hex wrench or a hex head sock with a universal joint will make tightening the 4 Allen bolts A LOT easier. After the 4 bolts are tight, install 2 cat. Converter bolts, and tighten finger tight.

6) Tighten 8 Flange nuts evenly, then tighten cat nuts under car.

7) Extend O2 sensor wires using supplied kit. Be sure to cut and splice wires one by one to make sure y9ou do not get them mixed up. Install O2 sensor into fitting and tighten securely.

8) Check for loose connectors, and re-connect battery

9) Before starting car for first time, wipe header down with mild solution of soap and water to remove any grease or fingerprints.

10) Lower car and start. Check for leaks. A leak will sound like a steady sputtering, and you will be able to feel pulses of exhaust. If you do not feel any exhaust pulses, and you think you have a leak, it is probably just the difference in sound form the stock manifold compared to the race header.

11) Enjoy!!!
