i put the pacesetters in myself as have a lot of people on this site. other than the fact that you have little room to manuever your hands for certain bolts, its an easy install. do a search on this website. you should be able to find out everything you need to know.

I' ve put in a set of mid-lengths, and three sets of LTs, and they aren' t that bad. Give yourself plenty of time, if of the age, maybe an allocation of adult beverages, keep the old people, children, and women away, so you don' t offend them with foul language, and just a good set of tools, jackstands, and a jack. It usually isn' t too hard.

I put the PaceSetter Full lenghts w/o air oe EGR on my 98. The only fitting problem was the driverside header. There is a square casting block hanging off the driverside back of the block that was in the way. After i cut it down with a angle grinder the header slid right in. Other than that it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Just make sure you buy O2 extensions and O2 sims (or have a tuner turn off the rear O2's)if you get a off road Y-Pipe.

Man, I've done it only once and it took probably 8 or more hours over the course of two days. Spark plugs, header bolts and AIR was a complete PIA. Grab a wrench and have fun.
