Default Anyone install GHL Headers themselves?

Just wondering how easy they were to install?
Sound?
Perfomance?
I have GHL Bullets and would like to install the GHL Headers myself.
Thanks!

I just installed the GHL headers this weekend. I've never installed headers before and have never really 'worked' on cars. I found that they were best installed from the top and it took me about 8 hours ( I know I'm slow compared to the experienced members on this forum). I just followed the instructions on LS1howto.com I'm very pleased with the fit and quality. The cats hang about 1/2 inch below the tunnel. I have the GHL quad tip bullets to complement them There is definitely a noticable power improvement and my car is louder and meaner sounding. I have yet to get a dyno tune and am looking for someone in Salt Lake City. Overall a great product that I'm very pleased with!

Stanwood- not all that far from Ferndale.
I don't have them yet, would like to do them this spring or summer if things are good. Thank you for the offer!
I am considering LG's or GHL's, just haven't heard much about the GHL's as they are so new. I have read that LG's are supposed to come out with rear 02 sensors early this year.
