Don't flip around the exhaust mani gasket it won't line up, make sure you let you car cool off. If it is a 2 piece it is a gravy install. Hell even if it is a 1 piece its still not bad at all.

Re: header install (SlowBlueSi)
buy a new gasket for connecting the header to the cat.
Make sure you have a good wrench for loosening the bolts, or at least a deep socket, as a standard socket will get about half of the nut, and round it off really fast.
Otherwise, just take your time and be careful, don't want a car falling on you b/c of a careless mistake.
Be ready to wire your o2 sensor, you will have to extend the wire so the sensor will reach pretty much all the way back to the cat.
I did it in about 1 hour and 15 min. DC sports SS 1 piece. Just using hand tools and i jack.
Good luck, and hit me up if you have any specific questions as I just did this 4 days ago.

Re: header install (Briman2021)
when your done installing the header make sure you clean up the header with windex or something to get all the grease off
