yea... and then with a catted X pipe like i have, it should be about the same as a O/R one i think.. just like 1-2 hp difference. but i will still be street legal. headers are a pain in the *** to install though.

i want mine on so bad! i got the whole mid-pipe, and headers connected just sittin there on the floor staring at me.

i dont think the steering shaft goes through the header on the bbk headers. doesnt look like it atleast. what ever headers you go with, they will sound amazing.

What do you guys think a good price to install the l/t headers would be? I will be looking at getting them soon and aneed to have a idea at what a good price would be for the install so I can save for it.

I'd only pay someone else to install headers if it was a really good price. I want to get headers but I don't know if I wanna take the time to do it. I need a really good set of detailed instructions but I don't know where to find them at. I'm pretty confident I could do it on my own but I just need the steps to do it.
