Default Header Install

How hard is it to install long tube headers and a pro chamber mid pipe on an 03 GT? And approximatly how long does it take to do the install?

its going to take you about a day to do. You have to jack the engine up to get clearence to the bolts. I didnt do it myself only because of that reason. Its pretty tough, but Its do-able.

Thanks. I will most likely take it over to my buddies place who has a hoist in his shop. He is an experienced ford tech. So i think we should be able to get it done with not much trouble at all. Nothing we shouldnt be able to get done over a 30pack of bush light

Bush light is like water. You going to need 2 30's. Anyway make sure to spray em down first and be careful with the egr bolt on the header. Don't want to strip that, seen it and it's not a fun fix.

It's not so bad once you get the stock manifolds off. Like stated above soaking the stock bolts in wd-40 or mabey get a can of quality penatrating oil. Better yet if you could, spray it down real good the night before and let it soak over night. Very nice looking car btw
