Header Install
Hi All, Anyone on here from the Orlando FL area that knows of a good exhaust shop to install Kooks LTH's? Thanks in advance.

If you have a jack and some stands, do it in your garage. The installation really isn't too hard and you'll save yourself $400 on an install. Not to mention, you have the bragging rights of having done it yourself.

Pyro FTW again. DIY, its too easy. Think of what else you could do with that extra $400... trailing arms and toe rods, or cradle bushings, or a BMR sway bar...or a cold air from CAI...all kinds of neat stuff!

I third that...while it's not the most enjoyable install, there really isn't anything 'hard' about it.

Did it in my cramped garage in 15 degree weather (The heater wasn't doing much that day). The install was straight forward.

I agree with Ralph, any exhaust shop should be able to install them. It'll cost $400+ but any of them should be able to install them. $400 could buy a guy a nice jack, stands, pizza, and beer for his buddy to help with the install. Just remember, keep a mental not where the dip stick fit in, spray PB Blaster on the O2 sensors the night before and when you get ready to uninstall the old manifolds the next day so they don't tear any threads, torque the bolts from the middle out alternating sides as you tighten, and 10ft/lbs torque first then 18ft/lbs, heat cycle and retighten at 18 once again.
