I would think that you could do it by yourself. Dustbuster4 did, but he of course is somewhat of a god when it comes to our cars.

Yeah, it's a 2 man job. It can be done by one person, but you better be close to god and have a garage with a lift!

Dustbuster is going to help me install mine next week, and it'll take a few hours to do. We did his last week.

No step by step pics or instructions, but you'll get the idea: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=82498

I would STRONGLY suggest having a helper!

Yea.. I did my headers over a PIT thanks to my friend owning a shop!!! The hardest part taht you may want a helper or 2 is removing the stock and those rested together bolts!!! after that its not really bad at all... all iin all a 2-3 hr job depending on how bad taking the stock is for you!

I put my headers on by myself with just a floor jack and jack stands. Do yourself a favor and get a helper it will cut the install time in half.
