Instructions

Installing headers on a vehicle results in losing the pre-heating system. This loss results in a rough idle and stalling on starts. The problem can be eliminated easily. Use an exhaust pipe adapter with one end the size of the hot airtube and the other end about 1 inch larger than the header tube size. Clamp the hot air tube, which runs up to the aircleaner, to one end of the adapter. Slit the other end 4 times, bend the two "ears" outward and clamp them onto the header tube. The new arrangement brings hot air from the header tube up to the intake just like the stock system. (This also helps when the vehicle needs to be emissions tested).
