Hello everyone,
I am getting some headers for my 3.0 from lc engineering right now. I saw that they might need longer than stock studs to make them fit. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I just bought all new studs and nuts from the stealership so if I need longer ones ill have to return them. Just wondering cause I havnt heard anything about this on here before.

From LCE.com

The factory exhaust manifold studs have a shoulder in the center that can interfere with proper header tightening. For better holding strength, our 45mm long, heat treated header mounting studs are stronger than stock. Includes: twelve studs, washers and nuts.

so you can measure yours that you got from the dealership

I've had that same Header kit on my 3.0 since it first came out. I used the stock header studs and haven't had a problem with them at all.

When you install the headers watch the gas line by the frame rail in the passenger side wheel well. You will have to bend it out of the way slightly. It will still be very close but should be ok. I didn't bend mine and with the torque of the engine it eventually wore a hole in it.

Maybe we can make this thread useful....how do you easily get all of your fuel lines clear?
