C5,
Doing my on Wed and Thur (hopefully it won't take both days). Been reading a lot over the past few weeks. Don't really know the answer to "Is there anything else...." But there are some good sites with lots of info where others have gone before us, just in case you need some more info. http://www.stl-vettes.com/Headers/Header_Install.asp http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c5/30s..._EXHAUST.shtml http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=440298

Good luck.

later,

I would change plugs at the same time. Very easy to crack if you leave them in and if you already have them out...
