yep extremely easy to put in. You'll really like them, they come with 02 extensions, new gaskets, new bolts, AIR/EGR tubes to weld up if you so desire, 02 bungs to weld up wherever you want to, merge slip fit collectors, the works. I got mine back in march when I first heard about them, and they were a breeze to put in.

they sound great behind a Trex cam also with open headers, I clamped a pair of 3.5" moroso spiral flow mufflers to the collectors to quiet things down a tad, I've gotten tons of compliments about how my car sounds, mostly from old school sbc/bbc car guys that had no idea you could get an LS1 to sound like that

Great headers! As said before, sound WICKED behind a T-rex. I have mine hooked up to the Ed y-pipe made for these and a Hooker catback, sounds AWESOME!

As for install, wait til after the headers are in to put on the collectors.

Premade, just route how you want to and hook them up. Plug and play.

The paint that comes on them will burn off on first startup, like all headers. I thought about getting them Jet Hot'ed, but everyone said with longtubes, it just comes off anyway, as will paint. So I just threw mine on. Collectors are still black, but the headers are grey now.

I had Jet Hot on my shorty headers and y-pipe on my IROC. It stayed on the headers for years, but the y-pipe was rusted after awhile. I think it's just the nature of the beast. I just couldn't see spending $350+ on coating that was going to come off soon on LT's anyway.
