Default install header with s/c

i was wondering how hard it would be to install header and s pipe if i have the s/c in already and if it is worth the gain to go through this? thanks for the help.

s-pipe is easy, the header is abit difficult to take off because of the S/C but if you plan on putting megan headers then think again because the S/C sits on one of the runners. but if you can get the headers off then putting them back shouldn't be hard,

i hate that they void the warranty...
i have heard that lets say u intall header or something and something goes wrong.....and dealer said warranty is voided but they have to prove that headers cause that damage, and if they can't they have to fix the car under warranty...

is this right??

yes but the techs are usually just like eh it's not factory and they changed it so lets just void their warranty instead of breaking our heads tring to figure out the problem.

you can't get the heatshield off without taking off the s/c... look at the threaded bolt on the right...

when you buy your car you sign paperwork that has the verbiage on the warranty, plus the end-all fact that if what YOU did to the car caused a problem, that issue in particular is NOT covered. your warranty is NOT VOIDED.

i couldnt care less what techs say, it's on THEM to prove that what YOU did caused the problem in question. if they cant do that, then they have no ground to stand on

it's gonna be a PITA to install the header with the S/C on... especially the Weapon R/MMW header. one of the guys from FL did it, i forgot his S/N, but he said it was hard.
