Here's another hint that might help... The nuts for the Y pipe that
came with the JBA headers are the type where it won't thread freely onto the
bolt; the top of the nut is a little smaller or something. Anyway, in order
to thread it all the way up, you have to put a wrench or something on the
bolt and use a ratchet or something to thread the nut up the bolt, which
is time consuming and can be difficult in the close confines of the engine
bay.
What I did was to get some regular nuts at a hardware store (stainless)
and some stainless lock washers. That way, I could thread the nut all
the way up to the top and I only need the wrenches to actually tighten
it down.
