Default SLP header install

I just received slp headers, highflo cats from this forum and I'm wondering if I can tackle this task myself. I know my way around engine but do not have a lift. Can you guys share your tales of self-installs and let me know what I'm getting into?
thanks
John

You dont need to know your way around an engine for a header install and you dont need a lift.

Simple handtools and two jackstands and you're good to go. It's a 3-5 hour job depending on how quick you are.

Hey Floyd,
Good to hear from you again. As you can see, I'm still working on my exhaust sound!
thanks
John

Just get yourself a good set of stands and get the car up high enough....I can't speak for SLP's, but my LG install was pretty easy. 5 Hours on my back and it was done. The hardest part was routing the O2 extention wires away from the exhaust.
