You don't really need instructions. Just get the car as high in the air as you can. Preferably on a lift, but most have just used a couple jackstands to get the car up high enough for the headers to be installed from the bottom.

Disconnect y-pipe, cats, and stock manifolds.

To install the new LT's you may need to disconnect the steering shaft to get the drivers side header to slide in. Be sure you either reuse your stock header gaskets or go to your dealer and get a new set. The passenger side is the easiest.

Just post up if you have any issues with your install.

You can also do a search. This question has been posted quiet a few times.

Good Luck.
