Just ordered myself a Dezod header and AgencyPower crank pulley...

Any tips/advice on installing this on my own? Don't really want to take it to a shop unless I NEED to.

Would appreciate some help installing it as well if anyone is free.

would help if you also stated what model your working on.

Sorry for the super late response...

These parts will be going on my 2012 tC.

both mods are really easy to do. prob #1- if the header is without cat then u will need a CEL eliminator for the mid pipe. Prob #2- the crank pulley bolt will be pretty damn tight, so air gun will be required in most cases

The header is catted.
I currently have the upper header bolts/nuts hand tightened and all the heat shields removed. I'm having trouble on the lower bolts, I cant figure out which ones I have to remove in order to get this header off.

For the crank pulley, I saw a video where people put a torque bar and turned the ignition key a bit to get the pulley to rotate the bolt. Is that a good idea?

there is 2 L type brackets that hold the stock manifold from the block. With those gone then the 2 spring bolts for the exhaust.

Has for the breaker bar with bumping the starter, hmm that's not really the right way to do it but it seems like people have done it and worked.

So I have to remove the bolts in order to remove the brackets before removing the spring bolts to remove the header?

Also, I noticed that there are 4 spring bolts...2 on the underside and 2 on the top side...do I remove all 4?
