Tips:
Remove the strut tower brace. Makes it easier to get to everything.
Hit the exhaust bolts (holding the cat pipe to the exhaust manifold) and O2 sensors with WD40 the night before.
Get the car well off the ground. Makes it easier to slide the headers in from the bottom.
Don't use the cheap gaskets that came with them. Use the GM ones. PN: 12617944

It's actually pretty easy.
Tools:
10 mm socket
13 mm socket
15 mm socket
O2 sensor tool
Spark plug socket
Anti-seize

While I'm thinking about it, did you re-use your stock gaskets or the Kooks fiber ones? Or did you go new stock?
Thanks!
