Header Install!!! I have a 98 z28 and I want to buy some headers for it. Just wanna know what kind people like or dislike, and also how hard the install is. Ive heard a lot of people say the engine needs to be pulled to put on headers and stuff like that. is putting on headers somethin i could do myself or is it somethin i need to have a shop do?
thanks for all the help

i was originally going to buy jet hot lt's, but decided to get the pacesetter lt that are jet hot coated for an extra $40 over ceremic from ws6store..they said they were special order but were here in only a cupple days anyway...i saved over $100 which i was able to put towards installation and im waiting to get the car back as we speak! they looked like really good quality and think i will be really satisfied.. i highly recommend them!

Some people have their local shop install them but if you do that don't pay more than $200-300. Look around for a shop that specializes or is very familiar with ls1s. Having them installed can save alot of time and hassle if you can afford it and finding a ls1 familiar shop to get it done right is your best bet.

They must use gold plated tools and work in nice suits!!!
If you dont have the cash for stainless LT's i would just get the pacesetter ceramic coated LT's because u live in Roseville. Coated Lt's should be just fine there.
