couple hours if you've never done it before. It's not too bad of a job, the worst thing you could run into is bolts and nuts that don't want to come off. Get yourself a can of WD-40 or something along those lines. Good luck with everything.

Re: has anyone installed headers and catback?
What kind of jacks are you guys using? I have a nice low hydro floor jack. I just slide it under the car and up it goes. I have ramps for the front and then I can jack up the back and put some jack stands under there. Is anyone still using the stock jack that came with their car?

hell, i went to the store that i bought it from and went behind there shop put the stock jack under my back passenger side, jacked it up and was done in an hour. but do watch out for the stubborn bolts. and that was the exhaust. the header just lift up the front. and that one could be tough. good luck with everything.

Re: has anyone installed headers and catback?
i did it on jack stands, but i couldnt get the bolts to losen the first time because i couldnt get enough leverage, so i took it to an shop they told me 150 bucks to put on a bolt on catback, i couldnt belive it so i gave them 10 dollars to lossen the bolts and i went home and did it myself

use the stock jack everytime, no other jack fits under my cars, and I cant drive them up the ramps to get em high enough to use a regular jack.
