It took me about 8 hours. The hardest part was fitting the passenger side, you have to jack the car up reallllly high. I spent a lot of time trying to install it without jacking it up high.

I didnt install Pacesetters, but for a point of contrast, it took me 4 hours to
remove manifolds and install the headers, including the the cats/y-pipe.
I think, with Pacesetters, you have to remove the steering shaft, so you have
to take that into account.

Depending upon the mileage, you might want to consider replacing the motor
mounts (if not done already).
