header installation on 96 SS

I am looking to install headers on my 1996 Camaro SS. Anyone have any experince at doing it onto an LT1? Any advice, tips, suggestion would be great!

dam that going to be a bitch to get them in.
just pay ashop to do it,
cause i have to un bolt the enigne from the mounts.
its a big job.
u cant even see the headers on a 96 z28 but good luck

On my friends' LT1 TA, it took 8 hours on a Saturday with several people who knew what they were doing. It's a hella hard install, alot of other things have to be move/undone in order to get it accomplished. If you're not confident in tools/your engine, I suggest taking it to a shop...

My expirence was on a 94 Z28. It was more of a pain in the ass than any other car. But it's definetly doable. It's all about patience!

Definately doable, just time consuming. Don't pay a shop, because it's so time consuming you'll end up paying a lot more than you ever wanted to. I've been quoted at upwards of $600. You don't have to remove motor mounts to do the install by the way. Just make sure you have copper gaskets, stage 8 locking headers bolts, a lot of time, and a cooler of ice for all of the bruised and bleeding knuckles you're going to have:bigthumb::icon16:

i have been through this before. it never took me 8 hours to do, but more like 5. The bitch part about it is getting the stock manifold off and disconecting them from the exhaust down-pipe. i can remember getting real frustrated when i was trying to tighten up the header bolts. BTW, what name brand are you looking to get 96z28SS? Dynatech has a nice set.

I was thinking either pacesetter or a set of ceramic coated SLP's on ebay.
