How long has it taken most of you to install them yourselves? I'm prepared for this about like I was my shocks. The shock install took about 14 hours of actually working on it, most of that was trying to break free the strut mount on the passenger side.

Any extra tips or tricks for the install aside from the how-to guide?

Do you have access to a lift? What brand of headers are you installing. Every install is different on every car, obviously.

No lift access unfortunately, so access from the bottom is going to be limited. One of the many reasons I'm looking for any and all tips lol.

Headers are TSP 1 7/8" stainless

Gotcha. The roughest part of my header install is the poly motor mounts. The rest is fairly straightforward. Unbolted the steering knuckle, etc. The motor mounts were a bitch.

Hopefully someone with the TSP stainless experience can give you better advice. Just take your time with it, should be fine.

Mine took 2 days. Also did motor mounts which probably took more time then the headers did.

Make sure you get the front way in the air. It can be a bitch without a lift trying to slide the headers in without the proper space. Other then that... there really isnt much else to it. Take your time and remember to take breaks so you don't get too frustrated and brake something! Oh and yeah i do suggest you do motor mounts too if you havn't.

Also, if you need new spark plugs do with your headers cuz its nearly impossible to get to the back plugs with the headers on...at least with a stabilizer bar

eep! Thanks for the reminder.. gotta run by the dealership and pick some up. AC Delco iridium's for me ... (Fortunately I've got an uncle that works in parts and I don't get the rip-off prices they try to charge X_X )

yeah do mm and plugs while your at it, follow a good write up that has alot of good info, it could take you awhile if its something you have never done before but its not to bad , if there is something in your way take it off lol

2-4 hours for SLP tuned long tube headers... but I got good at it after the 8th time of uninstalling/reinstalling them for emissions lol. I'm back to my OEM manifolds forever now I did my work from the bottom with a low-profile Craftsman floor jack. Having studs definitely helped vs. bolts.
