Default Installing headers

i have a friend that told me that he installed headers on his 95 gt and it wasnt that difficult. I have heard different from many people. How much work is in installing headers on a 95 gt?

IMO the hardest part would be finding your way around in the tight compartment. but theres still a decent ammount of room. my friend did it on his car but its a really old car and there was a decent ammount of room. pretty easy i think. just gotta torque it down right i think and be careful not to break the o2 sensor. never done it but yea, it doesnt look hard.

I just had to reinstall my factory exhaust manifolds and they weren't hard to do at all. The compartment is a little cramped but if you have swivel and extension for a rachet its a piece of cake.

What kind of headers are you talking about? I have installed shortys and it is a pain in the a$$ but not impossible. Good luck.

I had to install my MAC Longtubes on my 88 and it was nuts. I didnt even want the car for all the crap I had to go through to get them on. Welllll, I wouldnt go that far but they were difficult. Just a pain in the butt.
