Headpipes are sometimes difficult to attach to the exhaust manifold, especially when working alone. This helpful hint will make your life easier.

Mount the hangers and support brackets to the pipe, but do not tighten any parts until the headpipe is secured. Place a small jack under the headpipe and run it up against the manifold opening. This will leave your hands free to mount the hardware. Always use a new exhaust gasket and see that it's centered properly.
