Header installation

I'm just wondering I'm planning to install my CT Headers this weekend and I was wondering Is there a DIY for this installation? Is there something I need to know before Itry to get this installed? Let me know

its a pretty forward installation and everything should fit perfect if you have the comptechs.
make sure you have a couple good jack stands... makes it a lot easier.

for the most part. they don't supply the torque specs, but i didn't torque mine anyway as it was a bitch to just get to the header studs. Some people take off their strut bars, but i didn'y have to, i guess it just depends if you have like hulk hogan or not. I used air tools with long extensions to get the nuts broke free from from the a-pipe and header. Also, use break free on all the nuts before even trying to remove them, i can not emphasize that enough. Let the break free soak in for a little and then try and loosen them. Check for leaks after the install. If it's leaking you'll hear hissing sounds. Other than that, enjoy the hp gains, it's very noticeable. Have fun.

This is the DIY instructions from Comptech's website. Just in case you have a question in the middle of the install!
