we're they difficult to install? would you recommend someone with very little mech experience to install side pipes. I have 79 l82 what tools do you need? Was it difficult removing existing exhaust? I like the black valve covers.

Side pipes will require some fab for the mounts, if you are not mech inclined prob best to get a shop to install.
Yeah I like the retro valve covers, they just clear roller rockers too.
These headers only required a couple of taps to fit

I just put the Hooker SS sidepipe/headers on my '76 L-82 4-sp. They just fit without using a BFH to dent pipes. But I did need to cut the rocker panel on the left side with a dremel. You hardly notice the cut.
