Default Install Shorty Headers

Just wanted to know how many of you guys have installed your shorty headers and how hard was it?

i did it on mine and it was not hard at all. the bracket the holds the coil will be a pain to put back on because the header flange will be in the way there is holes for the bolts but they will not be long enough reach i would get longer ones.

If you have to ask then I would rate it an intermediate level mod. It isn't to bad but you need a good selection of tools, a floor jack, jack stands and a helper. A mod veteran can do it by themselves. Hope this helps.

i did mine last friday by myself....took 3 hours on ride up ramps....definatly use deep wall socket set and "break" the nuts on the cat before you take the bolts off of the stock headers...i also would say a breaker bar is a must have for this install....just my 2 cents
