you only have one header - it's not plural

if it's a 2-pc header then it will be much easier to install. Just jack it up and install.

with a 1-pc you'll need to jack it up fairly high or use a lift.

Problems include - potential for rusted bolts. That's pretty much it. The install is pretty basic, just make sure you install the gaskets with the pipe.

I agree completely, it's fairly easy, but you have to remember to put the gaskets back on (remember to re-use the donut gasket that is between the cat and the b-pipe). Here's a How-To:

its fairly easy to install...me and my buddy just installed a header, high-flow cat and catback exhaust on my teg last weekend...it only took about a 1hr 30mins..but like stated above you will most likely run into rusted bolts...and make sure u use gaskets....good diy project u can learn alot of things....also if u like me not alot of money u can diy instead of paying a exhaust shop a arm and a leg to install.
