. That was my situation. It was definately a challenge. If a shop can do it for the right price than I say go for it. But my guess is that it's going to be on the high side, therefore do it yourself. And enlist as many of your friends as you can. Keep the 
on the down low or it will take you 22 hours like it did me!

It doesnt take anywhere near that long now.. Just depends on which header it is, as to which methods you need to use to get them in.
so do you have to undo the steering to put in the longtubes??? thats what i heard from a few people...if so, man thats gotta be a pain in the ***

make sure you take off the
steering knuckle(driver side)
all spark plugs(might as well put in NGK's while you are at it)
Starter(passenger side)
Pretty much what i learned when i did it.Took me and 1 friend about 8 hours to do it. Take your time, do not get frustrated.Print out the instructions from LS1Howto.com or somewhere so you have a general idea of what you are doing.The three things i mentioned above are the most important along with proper ground clearance.Oh yeah, go get a 10mm ratchet wrench, it will become your best friend.
