Hope i dont mess this up..... my buddy just got pacesetter LT for his 2002 Z28. and part of the reason he got them was that i said that i heard it was easy to put in pacesetters and that i would help him. I`ve never done anything like that before. so i wanna ask one time. HOW HARD/EASY IS IT?
Its not that hard; just time consuming. For your first time installing these it might take all day or a weekend. Just make sure you both have a lot of spare time to throw at this job and you'll be fine.
Ohh make sure to soak those manifold bolts with WD40 the night before.

No, he'll need to order a y pipe or have his existing exhaust modified to work with the exhaust. You might as well throw some plugs and wires on it too. He could also order two o2 extensions or you can extend his o2 wires with the stuff supplied, just make sure its wrapped up tight or the car will not run right once it gets wet.
Also, when your installing the driver side header, many people including myself had the pacesetter header hit the tab on the block. Some people decide to cut it off, but I decided to beat in my floor board, and then it slid right in.
You should set aside a saturday or sunday with a case of beer and dig into it.

one last question. if he doesn`t care about passing the test, would off road y pipe be easier to instal?

pacesetter headers should slide in. Mine did on my 00 SS very time consuming I would suggest getting rear o2's deleted and air!. if you can get the car lifted as high as it can and level, and they will slide right inn. things youll need= GM header gaskets.
The only advice I could give you is that if you are going to do it on a driveway first put it up on ramps then when you are ready for the install lift it with a 3ton jack a bit higher but still have the tires on the ramps. I didnt have to cut nothing I just pushed them in a little hard but everything came out perfect. Just my .02
