Can you DIY headers install... or should you pay to have it done.

Not planning on Doing it myself, but I was wondering how difficult it is to have headers installed. Or maybe how long it might take?

Easy peasy lemon cheesy...Lol.. Actually its really not bad at all. Much easier than any other car I`ve added headers too.

The first time I did headers was on my 1993 Z28 with a friend and a lift. We both had no idea what we were doing but managed to get through it. Since then I have removed and reinstalled the headers twice in my garage and it isn't that bad. The LT1 Z28 is nightmare to work on compared to the 2010. Half the engine sits under the dash, jack stands are inadequate, and the spark plugs are under the headers. The first thing I checked on my 2010 was the spark plug location and they are out of the way on top. From what I here headers can be installed with just jackstands and wrhecnhes in your garage.
