Hi, I'm installing a shorty header pretty soon and I need to know if those studs needs to come off for the install? If yes, what side do they turn (to come off).
What's the size of wrench do I need for the EGR. My biggest wrench is 24mm and that sucker didn't fit, looks like 27mm to me.
Civic's sucks!

So those three studs needs to come off? I'll try to leave them on, if it doesn't clear I'll try to remove them. Putting it on this week-end, the header is ceramic coated and good for 1700 deg. far. It doesn't look great (dark grey) but it will work :P

i'm not sure about those studs...when I removed mine the first time the whole stud came out with the bolt so I just removed the whole thing, and put two header bolts in its place. I don't see any problem with this. It makes it a little easier to install with the studs but not much.

Crap, I think I killed the cat. Well it was in a bad state when I looked in it durring the header install. The cat "element" was cracked in two pieces, in my mind it was a gonner anyway but last night I was at full throttle and my check engine light came on. If I had a scan tool I could make sure that it is the cat, I'll visit my ford dealer for a quick scan.
I got a MIL on the way and a FC long tube header (from steeda) on the way. Besides my ceramic coat ain't that good, the heat under the hood is unreal. The header was coated with 1700deg far. black ceramic, the thing is chipping and looking grey at some spots. Oh well, live and learn, I should have got the long tube in the first place.
