Default Headers

So I just ordered a set of BBK Shorty headers. I'm going to install those and my h-pipe at the same time. How long should this take me? Any secrets to easy installation?

We have some truck ramps and yeah, a buddy of mine is helping. I'm thinking it won't be too bad since I'm going both the h-pipe and headers together. Anyone know the torque specs for headers?

i think it would be easier to bolt the header on then put the h-pipe on

I mean it's going to be easier since they are both coming off at once. that way I have a little play when installing the new ones
