Wrustywrench, Our headers and complete exhaust systems install on average 6-7 hours start to finish. If you call Vette Doctors they'll confirm that. We designed our header primaries to be equal length which makes the install a bit harder but pays major dividends when it's all said and done. Nick "Kook's Headers"

Nick what is the install procedure? Do you have a link to directions? Torn between yours and LG's, which are true long tubes with an install time from the bottom of 2-3 hrs. Nothing needs to come apart for the install. Can you elaborate on your install?

Bob, Our headers install from the top. Unless you had Kenny Bernstein's pit crew doing it, there are no headers that install in 3 hours start to finish. Please call our toll free number at 866-586-5665 and give me a fax number. I'll send you detailed instructions. Thanks Nick "Kook's headers"
