header install taking forever

So I started at noon today and just finished taking all the old stuff off. My crappy jack doesnt evern get the car high enough to raise the tires off the ground, i think my tire jack that came with the car is better. I took my exhaust into the shop cause one nut wouldnt come off the cat so i took all the hooks off and just put the entire exhaust in the back of my roomates car and took it to the shop. Things are going somewhat smoothly its just taking forever. Tomorrow i will put the new stuff on.

Wow it defitnitley should not have taken that long. I put headers on my bestfriends v-6 accord and the entire job only took me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. But then again i did have access to an actual shop with a lift and all the right tools. It also depends on how mechanically talented you are. But good luck with the install dude!!! I hope it goes really well but MAKE SURE YOU TORQUE ALL THE BOLTS and that you make sure the flanges line up perfectly.

Heres the torque specs if you need them...

Header to Head: 23lb/ft

Header to A-Pipe: 40lb/ft

o2 sensor: 33lb/ft

A-Pipe to cat: 25lb/ft
