Where they say "now were going to install the headers, all you have to do is remove the old front and rear manifolds...blah blah blah and then install the new ones and your done" 30 seconds later. Many things to be careful of, which i could list if you are actually considering investing the time and $.

Money, it depends on which namebrand you buy. The paesetters from ZZP start at $360. Their higher model stainless headers stat at $700. The Other Guys headers go for $750.

Supplies, some one who has actually installed these would be better to comment on this.

I have had the pacesetters and have had the zzp stainless 700 dollar headers. Both leak both need improvements. ZZP's are way better in workmanship and quality and leak FAR less than the pacesetters.

ZZP's are actually the same price as the togs because you have to buy a dp and it is not included like it is in the tog's package.

I had no leaking issues with the p-log and DP setup with the stock rear manifold.


Install time for headers? If you're setup is stock right now then plan on around 4hrs if you kinda know what your doing, can of PB Blaster and some broken bolts.

He better have some pb blaster and be ready for broken bolts if he does a plog. The crossover bolts can be a p.i.t.a.. I broke one myself.
