Default Kooks headers and true duals

Hi, i'm going to replace my borla catback with a kooks true duals exhaust and kooks headers, just wondering how hard it will be taking out the factory headers and installing the kooks headers, if anyone has any tips please let me know,

Headers are pretty straightforward. For me the higher I could get the car in the air, the easier it was. I already installed the headers to a Borla and then went True Duals. Ended up having to cut the Borla near the axle. Kooks TD's are an awesome system and installed pretty easy. Might just take more time tweaking little things.

One of the best references for swapping out stock manifolds for headers in an F body you'll find. Once you get to the part about the Y-pipe, the kooks duals are actually easier to work with.
