i refuse to have a shop install anything, i need to know my car, did my timing a few weeks ago, figured it couldnt be worse than that

RE: how hard is it to do LT headers
I just installed mine this summer, HARD, not simple at all. Luckly my uncle has his own shop behind his house, and my two best friends are mechanics.... Shops will charge u for like 8hrs of Labor, it took us 12(first time). Soo, unless you have a lift, and drop the tranny and engine a bit, Good luck....

RE: how hard is it to do LT headers
got my gears, prolly doing them next week, takes a ford tech about 2 hours, so i figured it would take me atleast 16
, as far as exhaust goes im gettin flowmaster 50's and an o/r xpipe for about 300, but figured i might as well do the headers at the same time if possible

RE: how hard is it to do LT headers
I paid $450 for the header install. Money well spent. Just a word of advice on the gears. If you are off just a tiny bit, you will get a whine that will ultimately drive you insane. Good luck.
