Easy as hell. I've done a couple sets now. Just remove the manifolds and cats and slide your new headers in. Its about as easy as it gets.

Its not too hard. Make sure you have the car up way high if its not on a lift, I used a semi truck floor jack to get it way up.

its pretty easy.....just TAKE YOUR TIME!!! to get the passenger side on you will need to get the car as high in the air as possible. And make 100% sure when you are putting the header bolts back in that you aren't crossthreading them. Its easy to do in aluminum heads...believe me..... i damn near messed up! Just take your time and you will do fine. 12pack + few friends = success!

Key word there is 12 pack especially when pulling off the manifolds. Other than that its a very straight forward install. If you can just grind that nub off on the driverside block it will make things ALOT easier. Just be patient and it you will get it. God Luck.
