Very easy instal. Takes about an hour or an hour and a half with basic hand tools.
Remove air intake from filter to throttle body Remove EGR piping Unbolt Y pipe Unbolt 6 staggered header-to-manifold bolts per bank Remove stock manifolds/headers and replace with new hardware and headers Instal is reverse of removal Otherwise, you are paying a shop for a couple hours labor. $70/hour * 2 hours = $140 appx. Call local shops for more accurate estimates.
