Has anyone installed headers on their car? How hard was it to do if you have? I just ordered BBK LT w/high flow cats and was considering putting it up on the lift and doing it myself

I installed LT headers and a full catback in 7 ish hours on jackstands.

Yea its about a 7-8 hour job, even if you go to a after market mod shop. Make sure you have good tools, a saws all and patience

OP Having the correct tools is key, obviously. Removing the alternator will save you about an hour or two on the passenger side. My buddy who is a very good mechanic did the job in just under 4 hrs with my help.
