Does anyone have a set of GMP manifold directions they could send me. Maybe get it photo copied. I could pay for shipping the 37 cents or w/e haha. I'll also pay for the photo copy. *Buckle Up Flame Suit* I just need direction to do mods to my car. Lost without directions

how can you do it wrong??? its pretty much straight up...


just undo the bolts from the header to the manifold.... and the bolts from the manifold to the downpipe.


replace gaskets and put everything back together.

yah honestly man you dont need directions for this, I dont even know what I did with mine or if I even got them. Just get your wrenches and go at it and remember to do new gaskets and you will be fine.

There's actually a pattern that you have to follow to tighten the nuts, and a specific torque to set it to, I have access to dealerworld Ill get it for you now.

EDIT: I forgot what I changed my password to, I'll get it to you soon.

Thanks alot. I knew there was to it then just taking off the old one, changing gaskets and adding the new one. Torq specs are important to me. Every time I go to the track I double check all the important parts on my car including torq specs. I'll be looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you. +rep

YW. I have some directions but it's pretty lengthly. If ya want them, I'll make a post.

I would love to see them step for step. When I do anything to my car its normally all GMP and I like to follow the directions exactly the way they show it. Besides, I have a nice little deal with someone at the dealership so I can keep my warnity after I install parts. Pay an hour labor for them to look over everything. Yea so anyways, to answer your question yes, make that post if you can.
