Got my set last week. These look real sweet. Great quality and excellent packaging !! Super fast delivery too....
Going to install them soon....
Just a few questions:
How high (about) does the car have to be off the ground to install when using jack stands?
Stock exhaust manifold gaskets are the recomendation?
Thanks !!!

As for height, obviously higher the better but you just need to be able to fit the header under the car so you can slide it up and in

So far it took me just 4 hours to remove the stock exhaust and get the new headers in place. 45 minutes was just getting the car up on the stands.
This job went so smooth so far I hope I didnt forget something. Taking some time to clean up some spots under the car.

Almost done, just have install the dipstick and decide what to do with the AIR tube. - and tighten everything back up.
No too bad of an install, took less time than replacing my balancer that came loose last year. Had the car on stands 17 inches off the ground. Dropped the starter. Passenger side took a bit more effort. But still wasnt a major challenge.
