Using these headers is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a Nissan 350Z or Infiniti G35 with a VQ35DE/HR engine. Check your o2 sensor harness to ensure you have the early - model 4 - wire ones. Remove the factory header and install the new long tube headers using the included gaskets, nuts, and bolts. You'll need to extend the primary o2 sensor harness to reach the new location. When it comes to maintenance, since these headers are made of 304 brushed stainless steel, they're quite durable. However, it's a good idea to regularly inspect them for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially if you use your vehicle in harsh conditions. Remember, these headers are for off - road use only, so don't use them on public roads.
