Should i go ahead and pay for it or should i try and do it myself?? They are Pacesetter and suppose to be the new ones. Oh and one more thing, what is the correct torque spec for the bolts??

I dont have a y-pipe, it will be made at the muffler shop, so im just gonna install the headers and drive to the muff shop. Just tempting to pay 100$ and not worry about it, then spending the day out on the 110degree heat.

If you have the tools and know-how, then go for it. Its fun and not that hard. If you don't have that stuff, then $100 is pretty cheap.

Working on your own car is half the fun of modifying it.

$100 ain't jack.. pay it.. you'll wish you had when you get done. For that price, I'd be worried bout the job tho.. I'd watch carefully.

Peace,
Josh

Im thinking its fun to work on it too. but right now here the weather is at 110, so that takes some fun out of it. and i know the mechanic, he is good and he had worked on my lt1 before, thats why he's charging me just 100.
