its no worse than other headers. i had to cut the tab off the block on the drivers side. just make sure the car is up high enough and they will pretty much slide right in. i didnt do a catted y so i cant comment on that.

Pacesetters took me some time (I am a slow worker), but no problems. I did not have to cut the tab off the block at all. Some say to disconnect the steering, but if you turn the wheels there is plenty of room. Just wiggle it around and the slide in. I had ory but I am sure there is not much difference (if the Y pipe is made to fit these headers). You will enjoy the outcome.

Also, A local performance shop will install them for you for $200-$300, depending on who it is.
Make sure to get 'Locking Header Bolts' and a better gasket then the crappy one Pacesetter gives you. Cometic gaskets seem to be popular on here.
