20whp isn't uncommon. And you don't NEED a tune with headers.
I asked where you are from in case someone from the forum is close by and willing to give you a hand.
If you weld everything on, how would you get it all out?
Don't worry about leaks. Good clamps are just as good as welds.

never mind i thought the headers were already put on, don't get me wrong, its pretty easy to put LT and a Y pipe on, but if he can get that put on for $350, that isn't bad at all for a guy that has no tools or experience. Just a matter if the OP wants to learn, or just drive the thing.

I say take all the emissions bullshit off while your at it get a tune and be done with it. Also a tune will change your shift points and fermness so its a nice mod to go with the headers.... I will say that pulling the headers on is a ******* bitch no lie such a pain in the ***. It sounds like you dont work on cars at all, so you should make friends with a fellow f body owner that lives by you to help that way he can show you whats , what and some little tricks on how to get things done. Theres not a better feeling when your driving your car and you know you did all the work yourself you feel the power and hear the exhaust .

Emissions would be to delete the AIR pump and EGR stuff. The AIR pump is really easy to delete. If you look at your stock exhaust manifolds, theres like a small pipe coming out of them both and then they lead under the car. When u remove it, you will plug in those two holes and cut off the pipes. Headers without emissions mean they dont have those holes, so you dont have to worry about plugging them. And the EGR i havent done yet, but you only buy 3 plates to block of some part behind the engine. Maybe someone can chime in on that.
OP i hardly have time to work on my car either, but since its not my DD i usually take my sweet time to do anything on it. Hell it took me like a week to replace my opti and water pump. Only bad thing is that my battery died lol

Never had **** so rusted lol, anyway I got tools for Christmas and bought a jack and stand set myself, so far we have all the stock stuff off, we got the driver side header on with new plugs and wires, and had to replace coolant temp sensor because we broke the stock one getting header in haha, anyway all we lack is the passenger side header with plugs and wires and then put it all back together and put on ory pipe, and we're done and I picked up a new belt as well, I got duralast wires and Ngk55gp plugs, any comments, questions, or suggestions from anyone, we had to delete cats and AIR, I just plugged off
The EGR on passenger side for now, what kind of gains do yall expect now? And does anyone know how much I can sell the 2 cats for?
-THANKS!

Do a throttle body bypass while you're at it.
