How time consuming is it? is it worth the 399 to have them installed or is it really not that difficult. Cause i know those engines are tight and it seems to me like I need to pull out alot of different things.Comment

It is NOT worth 400 to install them
I installed them in about 10 hours of work with someone helping out...but I wasn't trying to go fast or anything. It's not hard. But it can be frustrating and WILL be time consuming.
But like we said...if you need any help on anything we're all here to help. Email or AIM or just post more questions. We can help you save 400 bucks.Shawn<br />2002 Silver W68 FirebirdComment

You think 400 is bad, the place that installed mine, and f'd them up, charged me 600 to install them. I was installing them my self but I managed strip the last exhaust manifold bolt on the passenger side :mad: so I was screwed!Ben<br /><br />1995 White/Black 3.4L<br />As far away from stock as possible<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=288292\" target=\"_blank\">My Site!!!</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.redlinevsix.com\" target=\"_blank\">RedLineV6</a><br />Rebuild and 3.4 T70 Turbo is complete<br />Details to come....Comment

Hehe this could get interesting...
Just installed mine today... well finished today.
Me and a friend, a set of lifts and a lot of tools took 10 hours over 2 days.
Heres all the problems we came across:
1) Onestud from each of the stock manifolds broke, leaving half the stud in the head. We left them there.
2) Passenger side O2 sensor wouldnt reach the plug. Ended up cutting the loom to get a little extra reach.
3) y pipe ball and sockets wouldnt line up on both headers. With a big bar and a lot of cussing, we got it to work.
4)driver side front primary was hitting the steering shaft. Took a BFH to it and it cleared just fine.
5) Y pipe was 3", exhaust was 2 1/2.
6) we made a temporary adapter for the y pipe to exhaust and clamped it until i can get to an exhaust shop. Leaks like crazy.
This was on a 96.
Good luck :D1996 CamaroRS <br />15.5 @ 86<br />Sold<br /><br />2000 Z28 Convertible 3700lbs<br />Lid, Cutout, yank 3600 Stall, built trans, snall cam, NX Wet kit.<br />11.3 @ 118<br />Best 60\' is 1.58<br />497 RWHP 475 RWTQComment
