Ok, To any of you that own the AW header, Were did you buy it and how much?
I have looked at over 15 websites and the cheapest i found was 299+30 for shipping. also, How many had to buy a ney o2 SIM because the stock one that was put in was striped. Im ready to buy this header, but dont want 299 to turn into 500 for all the extra crap that i need with it. Thanks for the info.

 

i bought mine used for $300 about 5 months ago.

i bought the antifoulers for dirt cheap to fix the CEL.

 

I bought mine for $200 off a guy on this forum. But I don't think you'll find anywhere else cheaper than $299. Or u can always wait for the prices to drop.

 

I got mine form www.creativecompacts.com for 285 shipped on their 5% off special. Im pretty sure that its at $299 w/ free shipping now. (site is down right now)
Im really happy I bought it and have no CEL with the anti-fouler mod.

Heres a pic:

 

^ WOW, hey that looks really good. Ill check them out when the site comes back up. I dont think i have heard anything negative about that company. How Many miles do u have now with the header with no CEL, and how much was the anti-foulers. Thanx

 

where can i buy the o2 SIM ?? how much it cost ??

 

Thanks. I have about 150 miles on it - just installed it on saturday - and only paid about $5 for the anti-foulers. Got em at my local Kragen. They are "Help" brand and are the shorter of the 2 that fit (42002 or 42009).

I used Kaeon's FAQ ( https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56520 ) which helped the install along since the header doesnt come with any instructions.

Tip: Start spryaing WD40 on the O2 sensor on the stock manifold as early as possible. I started the night before and continued to spray it for a couple hours before I started the install and it came out perfectly. Also, wipe down the header wth brake cleaner on a clean rag before you start the car, or you fingerprints can get etched into the stainless.

Heres another shot:

 

how did you get the oil dipstick to not touch the header?

 

I pretty much just bent it outof the way. It wasnt that hard to get it move enough to leave a little gap.

 

Hey Instigator, the top looks pretty easy to install but the how about the bottom? The local Muffler shop i go to said he would do it for $75 but he said it wasnt hard at all and i could do it myself.

Also, he said that we could just plug up the bung on the header and extend the o2 sim right behind the second one and it should work perfectly fine. any suggestions?

 

yeah just bend the dipstick

 

The hadest part of the install for me was getting off the far left nut on the main flange. Its tucked up behind the alternator and theres not a lot of room to get in there. Other than that, nothing is really that hard...just make sure you have some extensions and a U-joint so you can get into some of the tricky places.

I dont think you are going to need to get an O2 sim for the project as the anti-fouler trick works very well. The hardest thinng about them is drilling one of the holes to 1/2".

Read through Kaeon's install guilde a couple times and youll see its not too bad.

 

to get the bolt near the alternator i just used an open end socket and a rubber mallet to loosen it up. I did that with all the bolts actually... Its an very easy install. I think it was easier then an intake install

 

Thanks for the advice at, i will give it a try
