Well I just got off my lazy butt and changed out my exhaust mainifold that had been leaking for over 2 years. Had the new header in the garage for almost 2 years. Install wasn't as bad as I thought. All bolts came out without any difficulty. Getting to some of them was the hard part. The underside bolts can be gotten to from underneath. The upper bolts are a breeze. I did not have to remove the fuel rail but I did unhook all the upper wiring to make it easier. All told it took me a little over 2 hours and that is with a trip to the parts store for an exhaust donut. To make it simpler I did use air tools. I would not want to do this without air....Now just letting it cool so I can retorque the bolts.

What kind of header? Sound nice? Do you really get a power increase from that or is it all in our mind because "it sounds louder I must have more power"? Damn... you make the install sound so easy I want to try it... but I know if it took you 2 hours it would take me 2 days (or weeks with my luck).
