Took around 10 hours total, but we did the engine and tranny mounts as well, which were the bulk of the work -- and the boys helping me had never done either install before...
Those engine mounts took some time!!!!

Yes, the car had to be raised, but not by much... (There was a pic of the car all jacked up at night, when I started the thread... but I cant seem to repost it... ugh! It isnt showing up- It was pretty high -- that little 20lb basenji dog in the picture could walk right under it, and brush her back... Probably about 18" or so off the ground. , maybe a tiny bit more.

It is a '99 SS - M6.

Im not sure whats next... After spending a **** ton of money on the headers, I think it might be 6 months before I indulge in something more...
