Can I do it myself? I just ordered my pacesetters. I am worried about the
install I have no one to help and want to know if I am
able to do the whole thing entirely by myself.
Thanks for any reply.

I was able to do mine mostly by myself. All that I had was a jack stand and some rhino ramps. The only stuff that I needed help with was getting the oil dipstick tube back in and some help with guiding the headers. It could be done, but the dipstick tube is near impossible to get back in without help.

i did mine no problem? i put it down between the headers and let it rest on something, then I went underneath the car and pushed it in, it when in really easy, no forcing it like some people said, and its seated all the way, because the bolt uptop went on just fine
but back to the original post, I had a buddy help me.
this was my first time, u'll get frustrated. maybe do what i did, if ur car isn't a daily driver, take the stock exhaust off first, then wait for the headers, don't try to do it all at once

Have a friend to help, even if they havent done it before. They can help guide the headers up etc. Its do-able w/ one person, but easier with more.
I couldn't get the dip stick back in by myself for some stupid reason. A friend came over to help me finish up. I ended up having to run and get some stuff, and when I got back he had the dipstick done himeself. The difference being: he has done it many times before.
