Well from what I have heard, you have to pull the motor out to change them and it is it an 6-8 hour job for a mechanic. I actually was thining about changing the heaaders on mine, but I am going to wait and do motor work while the engine is out.

you dont have ot pull the motor. you do have ot take the 2 bolt out for the motor mountes and you can use a lift and raise it form the top or a jack and raise the engine form the bottom to gain the clearence you need to get the long tubes in. also you need ot remove the steering shaft. it is held on with one bolt at the bottom. other than that just some time and wiggiling things around should do it.

Here is the BBK tech page that has the install instructions for all of their header kits, http://www.bbkperformance.com/install/index.shtml

Its really not that hard. With the help of a freind or 2 its a easy job. it just takes osme time. Kinda like shift kits its not ot hard but takes time. Good luck and let us know how you like the long tubes.

I just caught this thread....make sure you have your tuner adjust your 02 sensor delay. When you move the 02 sensors further down in the exhaust stream, it delays the information that the pcm gets from the sensors. Good luck, LT's are a great Mod.
