i have to input on this one...since i installed my own dc 4-1 headers...its not hard but its not a walk in the park....basically all it is is gettin dirty...if u can use a lift so so definetley...i was a bone head and used a jack...but loosen the stock header bolts after gettin it on a lift...then unplug ur o2 sensor then tkae off ur cat bolts to ur stock header....take off the manifold through the bottom.....put in the new dc peice conecting the cat to the down pipe first then tighten the head bolts then conect the o2 sensor....make sure u put ur head gasket back on securley also....we dont like leaks....

ill probably do a header install soon.. I think team integra.net has a description on a how to.

Just want to mention that I did a exhaust install myself.. my goodness.. my hips, shoulders, and my thumb are either very sore or bruised from rolling around under my car and using the ratchet. Feels damn good lol

Header install is not difficult guys...like 10 bolts...of course one of my bolts was like rusted on and we had to take a dremel to it...but no matter.

And for the guy that said you have to replace the head gasket...come on now.
I hope you mean header gasket.

If you just have a floor jack you can do it no problem.

Anything is easy after the Skunk2 manni install. Seriously.
