Installing the LT's isnt hard at all. Check the exhaust FAQ at the top of this page for some instructions.

Installing the duals isn't bad at all either. You just need some serious patience and a big *** hammer.

Do you live by any of the sponsers?

If you still want to pay someone to do it, figure 4-5 hrs worth of labor. You have to remember they're going to have a lift, and air tools to get the job done alot faster than the average guy can

Someone lied to you! Headers on these cars are easy. Check the exhaust FAQ sticky at the top of the page for some more information. There are guides for installing headers posted in there.

The TSP duals go on pretty easy. Flip the fuel line brackets inside the tranny tunnel and re-install the lines for more clearance (they just pop out). You just slide the system together making sure you can adjust the pipes to make them ride well. You can put a jack under the dumps and they will really ride high. Beat the hell out of whatever it hits on on the way up, then drill some holes in the rear seatpans for the hangers, run some 3/8" bolts and fender washers through, and viola.

I would suggest going by a shop and asking them how much it would be, we can't really tell you here. Bring them some printouts of the install instructions, it might help lower the cost some. Make sure you mention flipping the fuel line brackets too.

Prepare for much roarage with the bullets. Get someone to drive your car while you stand behind it, it sounds even meaner. I never realized it untill I *tried* to get it inspected and the inspection guy drove it. I even heard him give it a little throttle blip behind the building.

Look where it says "How to install".

You'll need to adress the rear O2 sensor problem. Refer to the AIR/EGR/Rear O2 sticky for some more information.
