actually sounds pretty cheap....plus most shops won't touch headers, because of the chance of breaking a bolt off in the head.....

Spend the $450 on an air compressor, an impact gun and a set of impact sockets. You will feel better that you did it all yourself and have the tools for next time.

Here is what I have:

Pick up a set of metric and standard impact sockets. DO NOT USE regular sockets with an impact gun. You will hurt yourself when the socket breaks under all the added torque.

Get a set of impact extensions and swivels.

Working on your car is fun! Yeah! That sounded gay but it is very satisfying to knwo that you did it and that if anything goes wrong you know how to fix it. Think of the tools as an investment.

Harbor freight also has good stuff:

ok time to man up and do it yourself... its SIMPLE

things you will NEED: wrenches
things i would use, or buy if you can: air gun or just a socket set and ratchet, and wouldnt be a bad idea to get a propane torch, or mapp gas. (its cheap) to head the hpipe to header bolts

as for instructions... i hope that was a joke... shyt goes on just like it came off... come on now man...

Its not that hard. IMO the only hard part was getting the stock h-pipe to header bolts off. The new stuff was simple to install.
