How much of a pain is it to install headers? I've been toying around the idea of buying some for mine, but not sure if it will be worth the time it takes to install.
BTW, your truck's clean bay looks great!

After a week of soaking with PB Blaster all the bolts came out without to much of a problem. The whole install two people is almost a must but took about 4 hours including a stop for the paint to dry and wire brushing off all the surfaces clean.
