Does it require any special tools when you are installing headers. I want to put headers on my car but i cant afford to have them put on. I have never done any major work on my car myself other than regular maintenence, is installing headers biting off more than i can chew??? Does anyone have any pics or instructions on how to do it? maybe that will give me a better idea of what i am in for.

Well, I didn't think it was that hard. I think it looks harder than it is and since it iss time consuming, that makes things more interesting cause you get frustrated.

You shouldn't need any special tools. Just have sockets and extensions of varying sizes. Box wrenches are a good idea also.

As far as install goes. I didn't even use the instructions that came with mine. I just unbolted everything and bolted the new stuff on. Really, you will find that you don't really have to do much taking apart to get them in...just some finessing from time to time. Don't be afraid to losen bolts or remove valve covers. I had to take the drivers side cover off to get that one in. You may have to take the starter out on the passengers side also. Not a difficult thing to do, just make sure the battery is disconnected before starting on it. Other than that, it is not that bad. Just expect it to take a good day or two to finish and don't get frustrated if something doesn't go right at first. Walk away for a while or something. Hope that helps.
