1320 stainless steel headers vs polished headers

Quote from Slunglow

Just been a little busy polishing my "gently used" bar

I have a 1320 header being delivered tomorrow, along with the Welter Stealth exhaust. Does anybody have a link (working) the 1320 header install that is on SlingMods? The SlingMods link seems broken.

My header is the non turbo, and I am trying to understand if I will need to pull the studs. Seems allot of conflicting info in all the posts I've found.

Thanks

@McClendons, I had to remove the 2 forward studs on mine. I watched SlingShot Only install headers at the Hill Country event and none of the ones I saw needed to have the studs removed. So I would say it is the luck of the draw. It's not hard to pull them though.

@xxx4reggie, I really don't know the difference between the two, I installed the v2 on mine but I didn't turbocharge, I went with the DDMWorks Rotrax supercharger. Sorry I can't help on that but I am sure the turbo bunch will chime in.

Rob, Were the posts locktited in, or were they easy to undo with a torx socket? Read about broken studs and it scared me........

The studs came out very easy. Just make sure it is the right socket size. When you loosen make sure you do not pull your ratchet wrench sideways and put a side load on the stud.

EDIT: I used a 1/4" ratchet wrench to remove studs.

@xxx4reggie I don't have any videos, I don't have one of those fancy cameras. I'm sure there are some on here somewhere though.

It does have fancy blow sound though @xxx4reggie! I was lucky enough to drive @Rob the Slobs Sling... He let me of course...
