Headers Install - difficult?

[BOSS]

(HOPEFULLY) Going to replace my stock headers with long tubes before my B tune next month. It looks like a serious pain in the ass...any pointers, how-to's or experience with long tube installs?

I haven't done it on a hoe...but generally its not the most fun job. Do you have access to a lift?

NO. I guessed that would answer my question bc it looks impossible without one...I was trying to find a hookup on one with a thread last night.

Damn, another shop fee...

When I did the shorties on mine it took a few hours, just give yourself plenty of time, its always a good idea to take a step back and look at what your doing from a few angles, I hope your dvr side rear head bolt was not sheared off like mine was :-(

Thanks for the input....doesn't look like fun at all LOL

I did it on my day off at my shop using a lift. Took my sweet ass time and finished up some other things I've wanted to do to it as well. Started at 11ish finished by 4. The lift was infinitely valuable considering how low the truck sits.

I heard it's not bad at all....

Well...anyone scared of heights? That's how I feel under a car....wish it wasn't so but my heart literally races underneath that big *****!

I've done 3, soon to be 4, sets of headers. On trucks though. It really isn't that difficult, it's just time consuming. Make sure everything is the right part, going to line up before you start, etc etc and then have at it. I have a body lift on my truck so it was EASY to get to them. You can pull the wheel well liner out if you really wanted to.
