Default Header after S/C install, I need Help

I need Help

1. Modified Heat shield is off already.

It will come off once you remove all the bolts and the stud that is on the top of the stock header. You do not have to cut it off.

yeah, shouldve did it before the SC install cause installing headers on the tC without the sc is a lil difficult with the little room to work with in getting that far left nut out.
