Question Changing headers on C32 = Engine-out job

hey guys

i went to an exhaust shop to propose a custom set of headers, when they inspected the engine bay/under the car. they said that they'd have the engine taken out to start measureing the size of the custom header and to install it

any of you with headers installed, did you guys have to pull out your engine?

OMG!!! You need to run and never look back from the place you took your car to. There is no reason to take the motor out to make some headers. All they should need is a stock set of headers to jig up the new ones from.

alterego is correct. They should not have too remove the engine to do the work. I personally would check out some other shops
