A lot depends on the brand of header. Some are a royal PITA and others come close to dropping in. You should search through some of the literally thousands of header threads here to get more info.

I thought my LGs went in easy, but the guys at LG put them in, usually 1 guy with occasional help, in about 2 hours. Guess it helps to have done it hundreds of times.

Each header is going to be different but a shorty header shouldnt take much time at all. I put my kooks 1 7/8's on in about 3hrs total. Pretty easy.

I would suggest American Racing Headers. They have the best fit and performance of any header i have seen. If you need a set feel free to PM me. If you also decide to not install them your self let me know. I shouldnt be too far from you at all.
