Arrow Can someone in the DC area help me install my headers?

I live in Rockville, MD and I've had these things sitting in my trunk for months now and nobody I know who works on cars has had time to help out... it's not like I'm a nooblet, I just don't know enough people who are willing to help out... my car's old (112k mi), so there's a lot of rust and trying to do this myself will only drag things out even longer... I basically just need an extra set of hands that have some knowledge of TLs to get this done (I'm willing to drive to wherever if you can help me out)... I'll be checking this thread and my inbox throughout the day and hopefully someone'll be able to help... If you can't help out today, let me know anyways because I want to get these installed asap and if things don't work out, then my call for help still stands until I'm done with this project... thanks guys!


cliff's notes- need help from someone living around DC to install headers on a 00 TL... post or pm replies

you really kind of need a lift to put them on. the back headers are a bitch to get to.

well I've got jack stands, so I can get the car real high up, take the sway bar off to give me room to work back there and then see what I can do... this really should only be a 2-3 person job that takes a few hours and my roommate could be the 3rd person if more help is necessary (I don't think he's as mechanically inclined as neccessary for the project and plus, has absolutely no patience and a defeatist attitude, which is why I turned to you guys for some more help)

It's really not hard. It's just time consuming.

But it'll be a total bitch if any of the bolts are seized or spun. Also, you want to do it when the car is cold. Driving to someone's house to work on it that day will be a horrible mistake.

If you really need to have someone do it for you, go here and talk to this guy. http://www.i-modify.com/ He comes highly recommended from ClubRSX.

I second this, Dennis is great mechanic. He lives in Springfield, but he gets busy as hell. He put the body kit, aspec suspension and RSB on my TL.
