So I am attaching pictures of what has to be the worst header to ever come off a Pontiac? It was terrible to get it out. I thought this is supposed to be the easy side? I probably should have drained the oil and pulled the filter out of the way but i struggled until it gave up. Now i definitely need to remove the filter to get my used replacement header back in there. prior owners had also ran the trans cooling lines right in the way. Found more wires that go no where as well as vacuum hoses.

Why did i bother trying to replace the header now?
One because i am at a standstill on the front brake.
Two i want to know is these better headers fit
And three, since there are no floors at all and the motor smokes all the interior fills up with stinky smoke the last time i tried to drive it. So i figured maybe I can run some temporary straight pipes away from the drivers seat.
The collector flanges were rotted off the headers that came with the car

Check out these pics!
Do I win the worst header prize?
