    so you're not really mechanically inclined i take it?

    if not, i dont really recommend doing it by yourself.

    mostly because things can go wrong and you need to be able to solve them on your own.

    you put headers in from the top anyway. anyone that does it from the bottom is doing it wrong.

    you dont need a lift, just a jack and two axle stands and you'll be golden.

    Put the rear mani in, then the downpipe assy then the font mani and you're done.

    right because this thread is useless
    http://www.grandprixforums.net/heade...ead-25922.html

    but yes everyting is bolt on if you buy the right ones

    1. remove downpipe
    2. remove front mani
    3. remove crossover
    4. remove rear header

    installation differs between the brands

    oh ya good luck with exhaust bolts because they suck!

    True that...the numerous heating and cooling cycles they go through makes em about impossible to get them off..especially without breaking them.

    I would soak the bolts down with liquid wrench or pb penetrating oil a couple days before you decide to do it. I've heard it make it MUCH easier to get them out.

    pb blaster is your friend, except for the downpipe if you have a torch just heat them up
