Default How difficult to install these headers?

I'm thinking of relpacing my SS soon and want some headers that are realitivy easy to swap out during emmissions time for the stock stuff(worst case senario), I was thinking of getting QTP's, how difficult are they to install? I used to have FLP's and thought they were easy to install, I DONT WANT TO CUT THE "I" PIPE THIS TIME like I had to do with the FLP's, I want to be able to swap the original **** back in. any opinions are welcome. thanx in advance.

I thought they were pretty damn easy. Prolly about the same as the FLPs. I've installed a lot of different brands of LTs on the ls1. Had to "massage" 1 spot, but it wasn't bad at all.

Cool thanx for the reply. Did you have to cut the "I" pipe with the QTP's?
