Hooker headers installation

i recently purchased a pair of hooker competition headers with a y pipe i was wondering if anyone has installed these before and i was wondering about how long it takes total time from start to finish. Do i need to do anything else besides unbolt motor mounts??

Why would you need to unbolt the motor mounts? Don't the headers fit right in there?

Some people have to take the bolt out of their passenger side motor mount and raise the motor a couple inches to slide the header down (On the passenger side). I had to do this myself. If you do a search, there is a whole wealth of information on this topic.

Not sure about ta's but my maro was fairly easy. Had to do some manuvering to bolt to y-pipe. I have hooker super comp shorties. Didnt have to unbolt any mounts. If you install them in your garage, roll the car back outside before starting. There will be massive amounts of burnoff smoke from the new headers after they get hot.
