The only and best detailed header video to date. Thank you!
Mixay Phiakeo I tried making one as informative as I could.
Thanks for making this video and making thr install so detailed! Hopefully will switch mine next year.
In my mind this was an impossible task until I saw your video!, Thank you mate
Just installed some on my 03 350z. You made it look way to easy lol. Took me a long long time lol but thank you very much for this video. It did help me a lot. Good video!
I’m currently on day 3 of doing it at home 😭🫰🏼
thanks for the video, one of the most infamous cars to put headers on .
trinity sweat For sure and everyone skips it because it’s too hard so I figured I would make a video to show it’s more time consuming than hard.
Dude thank you so much! You made it so easy to follow along saved me a huge headache and few hundred dollars!!
Juan Aguirre Nonoroblem that’s what I make these videos for 💪🏻
Yo man, on the bottom right of your front bumper there's a plastic wall that can be removed/ripped out under your headlight. After this you can remove the factory plastic "jug" located directly below your air filter. Then I just bought some "4in dust collector hose" I recommend 3" and an attachment you can bolt to the lower aluminum part of the bumper..like an air catch that is behind the bottom slots of your front bumper. Then run the hose to the right and up directly below your air filter. After I did this it greatly improved throttle response and it feels like my torque increased. Hope it helps! I can make a short vid showing if you want. Also, I was going to make a heat shield but it's a super awkward space, so definitely make a video on it...maybe even throw out some measurements 😉
Big thing you left out (unless it's later in the video): DO NOT let that steering column turn on its own. It could break the clockspring on the steering wheel. You did mark it so it's probably fine but I usually also zip tie it or secure the steering wheel somehow just so you don't bump it
Also make sure you get a tune, cause this will 100% lean the engine out, as well as you don't really see power unless you tune after your breathing mods.
Z33 Garage Yea I felt it make a difference in midrange top end and I can tell it’s running more lean I can smell the difference. The tune is next on my list of expensive things to get done lol. I’m a cheap ass so $500-700 is a lot to me lol. But it will 100% get done probably by admin tune or Agn in Texas
@@JamesDguy LOL yeah I am in the same boat. My tune will run around $600 and once I am saving to get headers + tune so I dont blow her up.
Z33 Garage Mine is gonna be a lot more because mine is a 03 auto sedan it can’t use uprev
@@JamesDguy ohhhhhhh noooooooooo!!!
Find a old ass Cobb accessport lol
Z33 Garage It’s not able to be done since it’s auto 2003 sedan unless I send the ecu off to nisformance.com. Once I manual swap the G it will be perfectly fine with a uprev tune
Still Top header install video...Hands down
Nice job. Did the exact same way I did over the winter. Didnt have to drop the subframe or nothing. Unfortunately mine did rub the steering shaft but a hammer took care of that. Nice job
LoneReble06 Yea dropping the subframe just adds to the already long job no reason for that for sure.
@@JamesDguy for sure, I knew it could be done with out doing so, if anyone looked underneath they can clearly see all the room there is to drop them in and out
Honestly it’s really well detailed but what sucks is it’s a pain in the butt to do mine that being mine is in HR
Any videos for HR ? Exhaust shops out here charging me $800
This is carl from gear heads. Dude keep up the great work. Im excited to see you channel growing.
carl broughton Hey Thanks! I have been putting in some work to get it where I want it and I have loads of plans left to do.
Good video but you don't need to remove the fuel pressure regulator or the evap hose ... Also remind everyone about the steering knuckle u joint and not to turn that wheel or you're going to the dealer to have the steering angle sensor reset also with a swivel head socket you don't need to pull the water pipe on the driver's side if you have patience... Was not a fun job either way to do it but well worth the sound and extra torque
Thanks for the vid. Helped a ton. Took me 10 hours 👌. Went with dc headers fit like a charm.
Great vid as usual. Is there a horsepower goal you're shooting for or are you just going for overall performance increases? Keep em coming either way.
Cory Brown For now just shooting for more HP no specific goal as of right now. But once I build the engine and turbo it I am shooting for 700whp but it will be turbo by that time.
Hella appreciate u nobody was showing the passenger header👨🏽🍳
Most everyone is covering the 2 door model's on all of their upgrades and repairs but i'm a family man. 4 door it is. Thanks.
Took me 3 days. Installed the stillen headers.
Failed to mention that when u take the steering column off and put it back on u will have to get the steering angle sensor reset.
Also don’t use a swivel u can get a long extension and get it front infront. Also really bleed your coolant good. Took me a whole day jus to do that.
Sick man love this and your videos keep up man cant wait to see you grow on CZcams
paul ishii Thank you I’m trying to put more time and thought into my editing skills. Hopefully it wasn’t boring to watch
Hey dude, great video. Hate to tell you, but heat wrap is designed to insulate heat, not reflect it. That's why they make gold heat tape.
Z33 Garage Thanks! I know about the gold tape I have done tests on my hondata with my Honda back in day and the heat wrap worked pretty good compared to heat deflection tape by 3 degrees. I had both and did test with both. They were true cold air intakes went to the bumper & temps were the same on both days and the heat wrap kept it a constant temp inside I believe it was 80 degrees in the pipe using the heat tape and I did 3 pulls from 40-120 it went up to 95. Did the test with header wrap just like the heat deflection tape and the overall temp was 92 after the pulls I’m guessing since it was trapped in it stayed more constant and didn’t wanna go up I even did a few more pulls after it never went up and it was a hott ass day. It has worked well for me in the past only reason I still do it. Might have to re do the test and record it :)
@@JamesDguy I would be interested to see a similar test on the VQ. Ive seen threads on my350 showing temps and they pretty much show the intake just heatsoaks. : / I was thinking of wrapping my momentum performance intake with goldwrap but I like the wrinkle black too much.
Love this video man. Can’t wait to use it for myself. I’ll give you credits if I remake something like this.
Great video James. Headers and exhaust sounds great on your car. Hopefully I'll be able to spin some wrenches tonorrow. 😎
unstablebobgable I love doing these videos I just wish people would start noticing the effort I put into them :/ I appreciate the people like you who actually appreciate what I do.
I suggest use different color tape on the hoses to make reconnecting simple
Use the seat belt and tighten it the steering wheel it will keep it in place vs a mark that might turn around and line up wrong either way … sick install video
Thank you soo much for this !
I'll drop the subframe on my car as I have LTH's to go on however that's simple enough with the engine support bar.
Rob PhoboS I prefer the less work method so no subframe dropped in this video but it wasn’t too hard to do the headers.
@@JamesDguy I'd prefer not to as well but I think it makes it easier for the long tubes, I'll try without first. But this video is brilliant, it shows exactly what we need to do without fluff! 👍😎👍
@@JamesDguy nearly finished installing the LTH!
And yep, I didn't need to drop the engine subframe 👍
Thank you so much again for this video!
At exactly 2:00 where you take out the bolt underneath is so hard to take out
must be super nice working on cars with no rust, can't try this in the rust belt...the whole engine gotta come out
chideco1 I lived in Kansas which the town I was in had a salt mine so Idk how this car wasn’t super super rusted it confuses me.
@@JamesDguy missouri is hit and miss. We get fender rust and maybe one brace on one car or the whole god damn bottom is kill
Once I saw it was a sedan I subbed !
Sounds great! Do you have a resonator or is it straight piped to the exhaust at the end? Btw best install video. I saw someone removing the subframe and rack and pinion to put the headers on, smh.
It has 2 resonators built into the manzo cat back but otherwise no. I will be getting resonated Test pipes soon so it will sound even more cleaned up. I too have seen the removing subframe and that's WAY more work than i wanted to do just to upgrade headers. That was my main goal with this video is to help people see you don't have to remove it.
@@JamesDguy thanks man. I have the isr 350z exhaust on mine. The mid pipe is resonated. Has a deep sound and sounds good but not screaming like yours. Maybe i need test pipes or high flow cats. I have headers i haven't installed yet. Where did you get the heat wrap from?
CleanUpOnAisle6 I got everything from eBay I shop eBay for literally everything I’m a eBay fan lol never had issues
This is a great vid but with patience you don’t have to remove all of those hoses on the driver side. I just did every bolt on the driver side. Only thing I removed was my intake. And this job is more than time consuming it’s a pita😂😂
Did you get these from dynamic tuning? I just followed this and first of all, you made this look WAY too easy, secondly I tried putting the new headers in but the holes where the screws go in were way too small to fit so I got a grinder and have been trying to widen them
I feel u bro but it’s better not to cheap out on the headers I have the same problem now I have an exhaust leak on my passenger headers, if it helps u can use a 1/4 deep socket and take the bolts out
This was very informative thanks!!!
you made it look so easy
You ever thought about putting Tinted Headlights in it would look so sweet I found some for my car on E Bay pretty cheap too but you could wrap them too for about 7 -8 dollars
Why so Serious? My headlights are smoked lenses and I just did amber inside them I like them now lol Also it’s 100% illegal to tint them here.
@@JamesDguy Exactly what i have 👍 even if it's a light tint it's Illegal that sucks could be here too not sure guess I will found out 😂
Why so Serious? Not everywhere has the same laws but yea my lenses are DOT approved smoked tint but I cracked the cases open then painted the chrome areas yellow to give the lights a amber look while driving yet using stock bulbs. It looks beast and they can’t fuck with me
@@JamesDguy Awesome only tail lights are illegal in Arizona said something about at least one must show red wondering if I put one of those third brake lights that is red if I could get away with it doing brake lights too but that one
Cool ... want to come do mine now lol
Sounds great!!!!
Jonathan Ward Thanks I agree
Very good video thanks
Thank you for your service!!
Wow sounds good!
Coda5610 It really does. I think it needs a little less rasp but the test pipes I’m buying should fix that. They have resonators in them and the ones I have don’t have them.
Do you need a tune after installing headers ?or can you just run it like that?
??
?
Rafagas need a tune???
you don't need a tune but it'll run lean/rich depending of how your car takes the modifications
I'm having trouble with the 12mm bolt under the water pipe on the passenger side. I've tried a swivel socket and crescent wrench from on top and underneath, I just can't get it. Any advice or help?
Hey did absolutely everything but the steering rack however on mine was to difficult to remove to I managed to fit the driver side header from above by taking out a few ac components however the rack is now rubbing against the header and I need to move the rack to bang out the header out of it's way, because I sure as hell wont be removing the header again to do this. Any specific instructions on moving the rack, your video made it look far to easy.
Jose Maldonado Sorry I didn’t have this issue. I’m sorry I didn’t get the best video on the rack I apologize for that. I would say maybe grind down the steering arm but that might be sketchy. If you would have to remove the header and dent it? I didn’t have this issue.
Sounds great. what is the brand of the header? I am shopping for new one. I have an 03 350z DE. Do you have recommendations?
Awesome video
German muscle Thanks I tried making it enjoyable to watch and informative.
I enjoyed it and I love the way the car sounds as well 🔥🔥 also thanks for the sub💪
German muscle No problem I’m not the typical douche CZcamsr I like to interact with my fans/audience 💪🏻
So since you used the heat wrap you didn’t have to put on your shields?
Save yourself the headache with refilling the coolant and purging/burping the system by getting a Lisle Spill-Free Funnel.
Thanks for your help. This helped my install a lot🙌🏽
Do the O2 sensors go back into the aftermarket headers or do you just have to deal with a check engine light being on?
Storman Gorman I didn’t have a check engine light after. I have the o2 sensor extensions where the cats go and it didn’t come on after. Getting a tune helps a lot but I never got one.
So the only thing you removed from the bottom on the driver side to have clearance was the steering column?
So I noticed that you didn’t play with the ac pulleys?!?!?! Is that nesseary! Or as long as you remove that water pipe your fine... I have a 350Z and noticed a lot of people mess with the ac
Jason Cono Never messes with a/c it wasn’t in the way that affected me any.
Moore Motorsports James Dguy now is this different from the 350Z trying to unconfuse my self haha because this video gives me more confidence to do it myself! Just trying to see about the ac part or maybe it’s because this is a g35? Idk haha
hey bro, i noticed you marked one side of the steering rack but pulled it out from another side. why is that?
ps. great video. made it look super easy. thanks!
need_money_for_internet I was a goof lol I marked the wrong spot but the lower section needs marked
Hey buddy, I have a VQ35DE in my Altima Coupe so I was hoping maybe you can relate and help. I have a y pipe and straight pipe from the cats to the back. I have been yearning to install these headers I bought for it but have been hearing that if I DONT get a tune, I will ruin my car due to a lean condition. Is this true? Can’t the car’s ecu adjust? Or is a tune really that necessary. Please help!
Richard Sharma I have heard this too but I put over 1500 miles on mine so far no bad results. I use 91 octane have a intake spacer with full free flow exhaust and aftermarket intake system. Running the cheap cheap NGK plugs. I’m sure it’s not great to beat on it like I do but I just made a trip from Kansas to texas and back 2 times with no negative side effects. It’s been running great! I strongly recommends tune though. The 2003 auto g35 can’t be dyno tuned only a basemap mail order reflash so that’s why I haven’t done mine yet
Moore Motorsports James Dguy thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it man. I do get on my car probably 40% out of 100% of my driving because it’s a 6 speed manual and it’s just so zippy, also this is my weekend car it is not driven daily and only has about 65,000 miles. But it would make me nervous as hell to run something that is a mystery in itself hurting such a young and capable car. Thank you for clearing this up for me!
Great video, but what is the brand of the headers, i saw outlet 2.4 ,2.7 inches, can you send the link?
My headers did not clear 1 bolt on each side where I wasnt able to put a nut to tighten them. Due to the piping being in the way. Would you consider that okay? Because I dont hear no leaks but I dont want any issues down the road. Car sounds completely different. I have some randome Ebay headers motordyne art pipes Z1 y-pipe tomei exhaust. Very loud no drone but it does have a deeper sound and pops alot I have an 06 350z
any tip for removing the water pipe on my g35 i unscrewed the screw but it still stuck idk what’s to do
My Z has a heat shield on the driverside. Does this process still work? Can you pull the heat shield out of the bottom?
David Merrill Yea for sure!
Is this for tomeii headers install
I can not get my steering shaft to slide off. The yoke wont budge. I have just the front of the car raised. Because I'm on a slanted driveway. I've tried turning the wheel every which way and lower and rasing the car at different heights. Any suggestions.
David Merrill spray a fluid penetrant and let it soak in then you should be able to slowly budge it free. Hope that made sense i suck at explaining stuff
@@JamesDguy I finally got it off. The next problem is. My Megan headers sit a paper thickness from the steering shaft. Is that to close and how close were yours. Thanks for the responses!!!
David Merrill how did you get them off I’m still struggling with mine?
@@tabshaikh7646 had to take a screwdriver and bend were it claps on the shaft and some lube. Had to pull real hard to get it off the first time. Rusted on a little. Now it's no problem getting off
David Merrill okay thanks
Would that aftermarket intake tube be able to mockfit to the oem air box?
🎺 ❤️
Wrapping the intake with header wrap is a bad idea. Header wrap is meant to keep heat in the header for better scavenging so using it on the intake it will get hot from the exhaust and simply hold heat. I use dei be cool heat reflective wrap. Its meant to reflect heat away. I have been using it on all my vehicles and it makes a difference. You can get it in gold or silver, I have wrapped my air intakes on my Evo x mr touring, my sti, and my tsx. I did a before and after and there was a noticeable difference in power and temp dropped. Heat soak is common on infiniti g35/350z so any type of temp reduction u can do makes a difference.
Are headers worth it to get on this car or stick with the originals?
How many studs do I need to put on each side??? 6 and 6 or 8 headers got 8 holes my not sure if I need to cover all of them
What is ur exhaust setup, I really wanna know what muffler u have
How did you remove the pipe so easily its so hard to take off mine idk if ill be able to take it off
can you list all the tools needed please
What kind of headers are they and what link,price , and details please on headers
Did you have to tune your car after installing headers?
Nice. My first g35 has come. Maybe you can talk me through it? Love the sound.
How did you take off the coolant pipe so easily
What brand of headers are those?
Rawrster I believe they were Megan racing
Can I use this same method on my 08 g35 ?
Daniel Ramirez The method should be the same for most VQ setups
Fiy ur gonna have to mangle the driver's side a little bit
Passenger side coolant pipe is so hard to take out
4:25 I cannot get that water pipe to come out, took out the 12m but it just won’t slide out any tips for that?
Do you use any gasket maker??
When you disconnected the hoses did it affect anything on the radiator?
The only thing its going to affect that you have to be aware of is needing to bleed the system of air after you get ever zipped back up.
I have an 05 g35x I wonder if it's just as easy or if the x has more stuff in the way
it will definitely be much more of a challenge as it's all-wheeldrive.
Do you need a tune ? Or it still drives
what headers are these? and how much more hp does it make?
Did you wrap the headers yourself?
hey brother , what headlights do you have?
I have a 04 auto coupe am I able to run a tune?
Yup its on the 03
Do you have a link to the headers
I do not but they are cheap ones from eBay.
1-10 how difficult do you rate the job?
Does the g35 header fit g37!?
Will the headers of a 2004 Infiniti g35 coupe fit a 2003 sedan?
yes. The engine is the exact same from those two years.
What kind of headers did you use
How the heck did you remove the water pipe🤦♂️😂 I removed everything and the bolt but still can’t get it to come out
Ay what headers are these please let me know
I want to install my longtube headers but this looks like so much and scared to mess with my coolant lol
Ehere you bought the headers i bought ones buy theydotfit
No tuning?
Z1 headers?
David Smith These were cheap eBay Megan raging or something they worked good though. Sold the car and they are still on it and the guy keeps in contact
Link to your air intake ?
Funciona en G35 coupe ?
what brand of header are these. Have they held up no cracks?
freeyourmind88 Megan racing
They tend to have clearance issues with the steering rack. If that’s the case you’ll have to hammer the header in. Won’t hinder the performance.
What headers are those?
I can’t seem to get my steering colum off anything you guys did or any help anyone can give me ASAP
Lmfao you asked for help ASAP and it’s been a year and nobody helped you lmao. Did you fix it?
bro just for me right for me only put a sock on that filter....
