So I am installing my new header and have gotten very frustrated . I have the old one out and the new one in but I cant get the bolts to line back up. Anyone have a trick for this? Its a pain because I cant see what Im doing.

Is it an OBX header?

Nah, its made by Stahle. Its definitely not your average header, I even need a new exhaust system because the collect has a 3" outlet and no provision for a cat
Get a stock gasket and mate it up to the header flange and grind away to match up holes.

I got it on. The issue was not lining up the holes but rather me getting it into the correct position. I ended up using small dowels in 3 of the bolt holes in the head to use as a guide. Now I just have to figure out how to get the 3" outlet of the header to match to my exhaust.
