nearin the end of my DIY performance mods, every other mod i just last mechanical skill for. after a long thought .. decided i'm goin with short tube headers, probably gibson.
my question : how hard are these to self install?
looked up the intructions, got the jist of it down, but when it comes down to actually doing it myself .. will it be worth the headache? or should i just get a shop to do it

edit : cermic or stainless?

 

nah, it's easy. Do them yourself. My JBA's took me a little over an hour. Just pre-spray the header studs a day or 2 prior. You'll wanna take your fender liners out and work over the tires. Those only have 8 small bolts holing them on. very easy, just have a ziplock baggie handy or a bin for the fenderliner bolts.

 

yeah i had to take off those to install my intake (wierd i know)
any other things you can recommend? i figure if it took you an hour it'll take me about six.

 

it was easy no problems. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest) I would rate it a 3 or 4.

 

Long tubes are pretty easy to install so shorties should be a breeze.

 

should be easier, if i read the **** right shorties don't require welding.

 

Shorties (last I knew) were a direct bolt on, no cutting or welding required just tighten up the nuts and bolts and go.

 

Midlengths are the only headers that require welding, not shorties nor LT's.

 

do they make long tubes for the 4.7?

 

not that i know of. also, if you have superchip 3865 it reccomends you don't get long tube headers. but it says short tube headers are completely fine.
