Pacesetter header install

I just ordered pacesetter Lt and ory, I was wondering about how long the install takes?

Just like any other long tube headers.
I did mine in about 6 hours, plus another 1.5 hours to do the exhaust work cause I switched over to true duels x pipe

took me about 7 my knuckles were in bad shape at the end of the install. I had some header bolt issues.

Alot of it depends on your tools, resources and mechanical abilities.

Huge TIP : Coat down the manifold bolts in penetrating oil, it will become your best friend.

Thanks guys, I have use of a lift if I decide to do it. I found a shop to do it for 60$ per hour. Dont really have the money to pay the shop right now.

60 bucks an hour isnt that bad.
Drive down to MB, we can do it for 50 an hour

A lift is a lifesaver. I dont see how someone would do it without it.

My friend with a garage has a drive on lift, and extensive tool set. I put headers on my 67 chevelle and 84 chevy truck. This install seems a lot more involved.
