      Headers shouldnt cause the engine to over heat. Sounds like youve got air in the cooling system?

      Did headera, high flows, corsa cat back and things ran a bit cooler. Sills were a little cooler too.

      Headers not the reason for higher temps, look elsewhere.

      Add the manifold heat shields for peace of mind. They will require a little cutting, but it’s worth it.

      if you have not bled the air already you need a small plastic hose attached to the bleeder port.

      I just installed Belanger Headers on my 3rd gen. while I was also under the car I replaced the leaky oil lines. That being said, I had to disconnect the coolant lines. Coolant is back up to the normal fill position. I did not reinstall the stock header shields. Will the tune take care of the over heating once I get it loaded ? Should I burp the lines ? Or should I install the stock header shields ?
