You need to jack up the rear end and get it on jack stands. Tall 6 ton jack stands so the *** is way up in the air; this will allow you to slide the headers up more easily from underneath. Like others have said, you need to unbolt each sides motor mounts as you work on that side and tilt the motor over giving you more room, either with a jack or a motor lift. I didn't disconnect the steering link on the second install of my headers. Was able to slide the headers up.
Did the steering pass over and through the headers on the drivers side?I had to take the center link completely out AND jack up the motor to get the passenger side headers in, this was with hooker comps 1 7/8 in a 70 roadrunner. The driver side was easy with the steering link out, but the pass side I had to loosen the motor mount and use a pry bar to move the motor up. Fun! Then installing the starter added more good times.
I had to install both from underneath using a lift.

What a waste of time. I just looked up your headers on Summit's site and by golly, there, right in front of me were complete DIRECTIONS for installing those headers on your car. I'd print them here, but if you're too lazy to look at the directions, you deserve to struggle with the install. I just don't get it. Why come on here and ask questions and bitch about a product when the answer is right in the box with the products? AND, if perchance the directions weren't in the box, WHY NOT GO TO THE SITE YOU BOUGHT THE PRODUCT FROM AND LOOK THERE? Again, a total waste of time...
