Header Install
I have a 99 Cobra that I hust bought headers for and was wondering if anyone has done this by themselves, and how difficult of a project was it? I am just curious if its worth the hassle of doing it m,yself instead of having a shop do it.

just depends on your mechanical abilities, i installed some long tubes on my gt back in 03' when not a lot of people even had long tube and i was told to take it to a shop b/c i had little experience with stangs but it took me 2 days to get them in b/c i was trying to save the the egr tube but it ended up breaking anyways. if money "aint a thang" u could always pay a shop to do it. it also helps if you have access to a lift but not required. make sure u have plenty of tools as well.

ive installed them on my 99 gt twice (bbk) and helped a friend install some on a 98 gt (mach) w/o dropping the k-member. if you had access to a lift and shop tools with help it would be easier but not required. just have to loosen up the motor mounts and tilt the engine to make room while you work on each side.

You have to drop the K-Member which is not that big of a deal. 6 Bolts hold it on. Motor Mount Knuts and 2 rack and pinion nuts. Hold the motor with a jack (Use a peice of wood between it and the oil pan.) If I were you, buy an aftermarket K member, aroud $225, to put back in as they weight less, improve suspension and give you more room the next time around.

What brand headers are you buying/bought? long tubes or shorty's?
