I may be interested. Is this a fairly easy do-it-yourself or is it something where if I have to ask, I should take it to a shop to do? What do shops charge to install these?

It's fairly easy, but probably at least a few hrs at a shop. More like a saturday diy project if you have some patience.

speaking from experience of doing the SD Headers on my 99 Park Ave...there being less space in this bay with a V8 and a smaller car as opposed to the v6 and larger vehicle...

it's gonna suck. Tedious, frustrating to someone that's never done a set before, and you'll prolly wanna punch a child.

From what i can gather they are a true drop in though which saves some of the work. if you make sure to clean all gasket surfaces well and remember ultra copper is your friend you can do this in an afternoon as stated.

Get the car about 2-3ft off the ground for installing the rear and that's about it. rear first since it has the crossover as well. it's a lot easier to try to tweak the front into the crossover if it needs it than to try tweaking the back.

Based on how slow this one has been in the making and how many people are jumping ship i wouldnt cross my fingers on another group buy.

Well, Sadden, I guess I was afraid of that.

Please count me in. How does payment and actually placing the order work?

I think gripenfelter needs to poke his head in and count howany we have. Id hazard a guess and say we have enough to place an order.

Sorry I don't check this forum very often.

I think we have enough. I'll call Nick.

I'll PM everyone in this thread and collect your contact info once I touch base with him.
