They come with instructions that're quite clear. The thing is, everybody that DIY has slightly different results. For instance, I had to loosen my starter, but didn't remove any plugs, or even coil packs. This is contrary to other reports. There's a certain amount of wrestling and you'll just have to be patient. The only confusing thing is the O2s, and although the factory has them right wire to left bung, it's right to right,etc. with the headers.

My install was very easy and straight forward, I did remove the coil packs and plugs and also loosened the starter. Just watch the o2 sensors, it was very confusing to me until I thought about it. These headers were a cake install compared to the f body. If you have a question give them a call, they helped me out a few times.

Did mine over New years.
The install for LG Pro's install on ls1howto.com is VERY close to the same. That's what I used and it worked great.
btw, I did not run my O2 sensor lines as instructed by the LG instructions. The front ones are a little tricky to keep off the headers.
Feel free to PM me if ?'s

We've ahd a few arguements about this on the forum. The shop manual backs this up.

Did mine yesterday with ls1howto.com instructions. Wired my O2 sensors as they were originally. Getting the headers in place is aggravating but doable. I did them both from the top, dropped the oil filter for the drivers' side. I was in the middle of a heads/cam swap so the coilpacks and valve covers were already off. A spare set of hands would have helped immensely...

I watched LG install a set of Pro LTs on my car in their shop, and one trick they have come up with is this:
1. Drill 2 1 1/2" holes in the stiffening plate (stock or Aftermarket like mine) at the location of the O2 bungs in the exhaust pipes.
2. Run O2 leads (with labels to identify proper leads) over the stiffening plate and out the holes by their respective sensors to keep away from the header heat.
