Header install question
I am currently in the market for some aftermarket headers for my 06 R/T. I think I am going to go with the JBA stainless steel shorty headers for 400.00. Can anyone tell me how hard is the install or is it as easy as they claim. Will I be able to just take off the exhaust manifolds from underneath and replace with the JBA headers? Or does anything have to be customized to get them to fit?

RE: Header install question
I helped a friend from Houston put JBAs on his Magie, it's just like any other 5.7 LX. There are a couple bolts that make it a pain the butt.
Yes exhaust manifolds will come out from underneath and the JBAs will slide right in their place with no issues hooking up to the CAT/Midpipes.
Check out this PDF I put together on the install. (couldn't get the embedded link to work so here’s the url)

<edit> I need to revise the PDF, Breslin header bolts are no longer available. You can try Stage 8 BoltsPart # 8916(17) 8mm-1.25x25mm 6pt DHH www.stage8.com
