Default Header Question.

Simple question...

Can headers be installed on a 2007 M6 Convertible in a home garage? Is there a minimum of height needed to install headers? Floor Jacks and jack stands high enough to get the job done?

That is all.

TIA.

Yes they can, it'll just suck. The height depends on which headers you're installing. 2-3 feet should be ideal.

Its very simple with a floor jack and a set of jack stands. If you are mechanically inclined at all it should be easy.

piece of cake
seriously i don't think any car can be easier then this
i put the car on ramps (all 4 wheels)
then used the jacks to lift the body a little more
was easy to put the LG street headers in, even with my fat as$ under the car
just get some PB lbaster and spray all bolts down the night before

to make the job easier i bought new gaskets, 02's, and ARP header studs, and sleeving for the plug wires
kindda made the job to enjoyable
ohhh
why you are at it, get the Elite engineering tunnel plate and heat shield

Relatively easy job. I installed a set of Kooks headers on an '06 vert with auto tranny by myself. Just be careful.
