Default Install on hooker headers. How was it?

I'm looking at picking up some Hooker Long tube headers but want to know:

All the good and bad details of the install.
How you did the install (Rack or on stands)
How long it took
Missing parts
Time spent doing it

Thanks guys.

The installation is pretty straight forward. once the car is up high enough the headers slip right in. the hardest part is cramming the driver side o2 sensor in, it is a really tight fit. hooker should have made the 02 bung on the inside of the header. hope this helps.
