It depends on which headers you go with I would think.
I have my Dynatechs sitting in my garage right now. I will be installing them after I have them Jet-Hot coated.
I'll let you know how hard it was after their on.

its not the headers that will give you the problems its everything else. it prob. took me 10 min. to put in the headers total instal was like 5 hours. after a couple stripped and broken bolts get in your way it starts slowing you down.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my header install goes smoothly which it should because my truck is only a year old. I am going with Pacesetters also.

mine was not too bad... I took a sawzall to the stock exhaust. crude?? yes... effective?? yes... LOL... it came out and the new ones were in in about 4 hrs with me and my brother working on them.

the pass side went in from underneath and the driver side went in from the top. That was just my experience though. maybe others can give more tips.

why is it so hard to install those things,i know they are probably heavy and a might big but does size warrant 5 hours or work? does this include the ORY and stuff too? the reason i ask is ill be getting those SOMETIME and want to know if i can do it myself alone since my dad is useless and most other buddies are not into this type of thing
