Smile Headers Install

Any one around NYC wants to help me out on a header install?

Never did it myself, and don't have much experience in it, but i'm willing to try whatever. If anyone with some tools and a good place wants to take a wack at this?


Got price quote for 200, but the guy wasn't really sure how to do it himself.. 200 seems ok, i don't mind it, i would rather do it myself to understand it better.. If no takers i'll put it in a shop early next week

i'm assuming you took it to a mechanic. if the guy isn't sure how to remove a couple of bolts, albeit rusty, i'm not sure he's worth much

At least there the best headers u can get so there will be no fitment issues..
Start spraying those bolts with some PB blaster everyday so the bolts will come off with ease..
