I ordered Racing Beats True Dual exhaust. To install the header do i need to take off the 5/6 port actuators?

 

You might to get enough room to get at the top two nuts on the exhaust manifold.

 

on my s4 i didn't have to remove the aux port actuators, but it would have given me a lot more room to work. the real problem for me was getting the heat shield off, as the bolts were pretty rusted.

you 91 is an s5 correct? you search here for how to activate the aux ports, but if i remember correctly (which i rarely do these days) the s5 uses the air pump to activate the ports. so removing the exhaust manifold and cats shouldn't effect their operation right?

 

yeah the S5 uses the Air pump to activate the ports so i know they will function im just wondering if i need to take them off to install the header....thnks

 

its all in how you are with your hands, some people can work around things and get there hands in tight places, when i helped my friend he didn't have to take his aux ports off

 

cool thnks...i should be able to do it without having to remove anything
