yes they need to be removed to gain access to the manifold bolts on each side.I dont suppose theres any harm im cutting them off if you have a good set of tin snips,but that will leave sharp edges.You could always use a dremel to cut the nuts off

thanks guys but i got it fitted today,but missing a few knuckles now
had to lift engine,cut bolts,bend brackets etc but i got there
only prob now is i cant get old lamba sensor thing out of old manifold uppipe?the new headers have a hole for it but it is plugged up,so its running fine just drove for 45 miles and no probs nor did engine light came on but i never took it over 4000rpm
is it necessary to have it fitted or will it be fine without it as i have no cats anyway?
reply's asap please as im out tonight and would like to give it a bit of stick
