I have the "Bassani" hedders and I love them I dont think however that you can do better than the L.G.s and what are Air systems???? Anyway your question is well taken as no matter what you do if you do It yourself It Is a pain!

Hey all you American Racing Header guys! How are the instructions provided with them? How's the support from Vette DR's? I have just put in a lift and need to justify the expense by buying some headers and installing them myself, at least thats the way I approach it (regardless of what she says). However, "boss never let me put no headers in before". The American system sounds like a good candidate for someone like me. What do you think? My car is not my driver so no problem taking my time.

I don't see how any could be any easier than the LG's which only required removing the ground strap on the driver side (and going in from the bottom) and the coil pack on the passenger side (and going in from the top) and all eight plugs.

Wow! After watching that video I think I could even install the headers. "Boom" they're in or else in my case "Boom" there goes my car and I broke something as usual. Great looking headers BTW.
