Installed my headers today

Just so you guys know it went much better than I thought it would,the manifolds were out in an hour and a half,the headers slid right into place once I bent the brake lines out of the way and disconnected steering knuccle.I would have finished except I didn't have antisieze,I'll pick some up tomorrow and finish after work,then I can take it to be welded(I don't do that)Wish I knew it was this easy,I would have done it a long time ago.Don't be afraid it's not that bad

congrats man! which header did you get...stupid me just saw your sig....was it hard unbolting the manifolds, I always figured that those things would be a PITA to take off since those bolts have been in there forever with all the heat. Wow! not that har huh. weird but cool since I see so many posts about headers and how hard it was to work them in and the bending involved I guess the SLPs are better in at that as well.

MARKT111 youve got skill. Maybe I just suck but it took me so long to install my headers, well not really installing them but removing the mainfolds. I wish it took me an hour and a half i spent around 5 hours just removing the manifolds, but the headers went in pretty quick

I don't know if I have that much skill just a little patience and a warm garage,also my motor is 1 1/2 years old and their was antisieze on the bolts so nothing was frozen which made it pretty easy I was pretty surprised also
