Hi- I've done a lot of searching online n on the forum past posts-n I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for: (About) how long for a quailty garage to remove old and install new headers? Engine '99 v6 J30A1. I'm looking at DC sport headers.
Same question,same car- looking at removal of stock n install of Magnaflow muffler system.

 

Id like to do the headers myself- like to save sum $ n enjoy workin on my car. However I don't have a lift. Id like to hear from someone who considers themselves to have a decent mechanical knowledge and has replaced their headers- how long did it take, what was degree of difficulty? Etc.

 

The front one can easily be done, the back one is a little tricky because it's behind the engine, so it's kindda hard to reach. Cat back is a piece of cake with the car up high enough so you can get down under the car safely. The only issue is all the bolts must be all rusted by now so with out the torch you might have a hard time get them bolts out.

 

The garage I go to quoted me for an hour for header removal and install. They did my catback in under an hour a few months ago.

 

If it takes about an hour at the shop to do the job, expect a few hour in your driveway with out air tools and torch :-)

 

Thanks to every1 who read and to the replies and info!

 

We hope that everything goes easy for you if you try it for your self..
