oil filter&header exhaust????

[1iwilly]

hello to all
is there a trick or easier way to remove the oil filter when you have a header exhaust system and not the stock exhaust?? or do you have to loosen it up a little???thanks

[duff daddy]

ah im thinking you have to take the whole exhaust off, well at least the headers

[chriskatana]

Gotta take the headers off. One of those trade offs for that performance gain.

My D&D system has more clearance than the stock header. I can reach right in there wit ha socket and ratchet and take the filter off no problem.

It depends on the brand. Sometimes you can get in there with a extension and an universal joint, sometimes you can't.

I have no problems getting tools in between my headers . I have no idea what they are though , but they're not stock , apparently . I actually usually just reach in there with a leather work glove on and twist it right off .

I had a full Yosh exhaust. I didnt need to take it off, but it was a PITA to get it out of there.

The V&H full system on my'93 has enough clearance to get it off.
