Self. Looks hard, but it's easy. The headers slide in so easy it's anticlimatic.

You don't need the waste time pulling coils packs but if you really want to I'd pull the passenger side, thats the hardest side to get to the header bolts and sparks plugs.

Used my brother in-laws lift. Took eight hours taking our sweet time and finding the right tools. Hooking back the emission stuff took a little longer, you have to play a bit with it. By the way this were Pacesetter long tube.
