Warning for Comptech Headers self-install...
IT IS A B!TCH. It took me nearly all day to put them in. I could probably do it again in half the time if I knew what I was going to run into. What sucked the most was that I had to unbolt the rear engine mount to get the rear header onto the studs. That and trying to bolt the flanges together with a torque wrench on one side while the nut keeps spinning because no wrench on Earth could fit up there to hold it. Anyway, they are in now... look great! I like how the car sounds now, I was not expecting that. Took it for a drive but it seems there is only traffic and stoplights in L.A. so I didn't get a chance to open it up... Damn all-day car projects...
p.s., here is the difference between stock manifolds and Comptech Headers:

Not sure exactly what you mean by resonance sound. Yes the car sounds a little different, but there are no annoying resonating sounds that I have noticed yet. I really like how it sounds now!

You don't have to take the mount off... it just slides in. You should use a swivel-socket.. helps!
On the A-pipe to manifold bolts... yup, its a pain, BUT if you lodge a socket in there or have someone hold it from up top, you'll
be fine!
