Default Help - installing headers!

Hey guys i bought LG longtubes headers (w/o cats) for my C5, and decided id like to have them professionally installed rather than have to find a lift and do it myself (knowing me id screw it up )

Where is a good place to have them installed and for what price? I live in Newport Beach southern-california.

Thanks!

If you lived in Huntsville, AL, you could bring it over to my place and I would install them with you for free. It drives me crazy when someone pays someone to do a job like this. It usually costs a fortune for what you get.

If ya could get to Mobile, I'd do them for ya. To be honest, it isn't that bad on a C5. Just take your time. Ya don't HAVE to have a rack but God knows, it DEFINTLEY helps

I did mine in the drive way on tall jacj stands. If you know someone with jacks and jack stands, go fo it.

I just did my C6 the same way:



Its not all that difficult.

Biggest issue is getting the car high enough. Once your past 20 inches it's cake.

Those look like ARH LT's... I think they go on easier than LG's because the LG's are a bit longer so you have to get the car higher.
I put ARH LT's on my Z06, then helped a friend put a set of what we think are LG's on his Z - he bought them used.
We had to get his car up really high to get them in.
