Need help on header!

[Yamaha4life973]

I recently purchased a hauck header and loud exhaust system for my 06 vector. Got everything apart and trying to get stock header out and the tabs will not allow it to come out!! It looks like if the manifolds were out of the way it would come out but I really don't want to order a new manifold gasket, I order new donuts might as well replace them as I'm there but if I don't have to remove the manifolds I'd be a happy camper! Any tips or tricks would be appreciated ..

Along with the hauck header and loud exhaust I got a hauck clutch kit , they threw in a set of jets and I purschased the carb springs to wake er up . got it all from hauck and at a badass deal too!

If its like a stock mid pipe, you have to pull the flex pipes then push it towards the motor off the tunnel hanger.

I contacted grizz and chose to drill out the hanger rivets literally took like 10 min to get that hanger out, thanks for the advice guys

Way easier that way and the stock rivets are usually loose anyway.

Seems like it's gonna suck putting it back on tho might drop the suspension

Use steel rivets on the cover
