Should I atempt?
Should I atempt? Ok fellas...
I recently purchased...
Pacesetter Headers (NO Cats)
Pacesetter ORY
PP Typoon Intake Manifold 85mm
PP Throttle Body 85mm
XR-1 Bullet Muffler. ( I have LM2)
Should I install all of this myself? Im pretty handy dont get me wrong. We have installed tons of car audio and recently have put headers on 3 GTOs. Im by no means a "gearhead" but would love to try unless its a bad idea.
Im also going to be removing the AIR and EGR systems.
Any tips? Or suggestions?

do it your self, no need to pay a shop hundreds for something you can do and have fun doing. friends and booze are a necessary combination for a good install.
get the car safely as high as you can for the headers, helps alot. there are a few writeups on here that will go step by step with you on everything you plan to install.

Intake and throttle body, I would say is a peice of cake, I have however heard of some nightmare stories on getting the gaskets lined up on the PP versions, not sure if they changed or modified that at all since.
Exhaust is a bitch to do without a hoist but not entirely impossible.

I voted to do it yourself with friends, but if no one shows up, you really only need help for a few minutes. I asked my wife to catch the headers when I handed them up to her from the bottom.
Having friends help, never hurts, IF you had no choice I would still suggest doing it yourself but hey, get the help when you can.
As for the intake, on a Fbody, use 1-1/2" tubing for the rear intake bolts, they hit the cowl and have a friend help with the removal, you WILL NOT break the oil psi sensor if you take your time. If you do it alone, there stand a good chance of ******* it up.

I installed all of that stuff on my own. It was pretty easy and straight forward. I am 1 hour away from you. If you want some help let me know. I am more than willing to come out and help you out on the install.

Do it yourself, save some cash, and throw some new valve cover gaskets and a thermostat, and spark plugs in while your at it. Its a good time to tackle these areas when everythings off and out of the way.
