I think getting the old off is going to be the most time consuming. especially since mine's all wrapped up.

They shipped out mine on thursday, so hopefully I will get them tomorrow. I got an bill statement in the mail today. I had them shipped to different address where i work. I asked them to email me a tracking number, but they didn't.

Anyone heard anything about the installation vid? It would help alot since I will install myself.

Also, will I need special gasketts for them, or bolts?

I asked them, and they said it would include all the necessary hardware. I won't be doing the install myself, though. And I'm still gonna replace the included bolts with locking header bolts, if at all possible.

Mine came with everything but no manifold gaskets, I guess I could buy them at a auto store or GM.

Hey William, how about starting a new sticky for everyone's videos and pictures of their header installation? I think having a thread just for that would make a nice central place for us to observe. I wanna hear the exhaust from someone with Flowmaster Super 44s, and the Magnaflow mufflers, as well. I had originally wanted the Super 44s, but I don't know about drone in the cab. Heard about how it can get bad on trips, so I want to hear setups from both camps.

This sounds like a great idea!! My headers are only 4 hours away from me , sitting in Windsor, On, according to UPS. Ya Baby.

You're not excited, are you? Why would you be excited?

This is how I feel, waiting for my car to get out of the shop -

I went to GM and they sell the gaskets in ones, but I called Nick and he said use the factory gaskets.

So you mean they are reusable. Not sure what they look like, don't they get destroyed when the old manis come off.
