Well, while I found a whole lot of info on installuniversity.com the header install wasnt on there. Does anyone else know where the write up is, and can anybody in orange county help me?
And I will probably be going with the pacesetter hedders

Oh, i did not even look. When i did mine i did not use any directions it was easy to take off and i did not have any problems until putting in the driverside header because i did not have the car high enough in the air.

Yeah I needed the driver's side higher on mine as well. Also depending on the brand of headers you may need to remove the oil diverter for the install

DIY IMO.... I had no idea what I was doing and it took not more than 4 hours or so with no rough work other than just angle to the dangle (pacesetter new style). Fit great. Fun times, just jack that fu*ker up high.

After that came the DIY cam install... both from installuniversity, ls1tech, and ls1howto install guides with just follow instructions step by step.
