Hey, Alex did ours in a matter of hours. (Yup my cousin with no patience tried to help and just delayed the process. LMAO) Let me know and if he's off this weekend I'm sure he'd help out.
Do it yourself. I just did mine the other weekend and it wasnt bad at all. I thought it would be a huge pain but it really wasnt. the driver side was pretty easy. On the passanger side the back bolt for teh coil pack bracket is a pain in the *** to remove...i never put mine back in. Its also a good time to change your spark plugs. The back plug as well as the back header bolt on the passenger side can be reached from the underside of the car. Also its worth it to go buy some felpro gaskets from autozone or where ever. I bought some and copper coated them...they sealed up nicely.
Usually cost $400 for install at a performance shop in San Antonio, TX. Funny you mention needing a hand San Antonio F-Body Association just had a get together to swap an LS1 and 3.8L (V-6) headers this weekend. We have a bench racing meet this Sat. evening at a freinds house. Check out our site www.sanantonio-fbody.com . If you are interested in something this weekend, I'll provide all the labor/tools, How does $150 sound? Play guitar hero at my place and drink free beer while you wait. Let me know... 210-954-4985. ask for Al

hey well setup something this weekend and I can stop by... Only issue is I have a buddy who is gonna tow my ride to an exhaust shop off 410 & 90 to get my td work done
i would definitely do them yourself!! it took me and my buddy like 6 hours to get the pacesetters on. the only tough part to me was like all the air tubes and plugs and all. i dont really trust most of these shops in san antonio anyways man!!
