Right, because I didn't just complete my own install a few posts down. Wow.

Lets see...

Did I have to lift/pull the engine? nope
Did I have to pull the trans? nope
Did I have to set the backlash for the ring and pinion or set pinion depth? nope

Nothing about the install is hard. It requires the removal of a few other things but that doesn't make it hard. You get some scrapes and scratches, but I'm not soft enough to think that makes an install hard.

Maybe its the fact that this isn't my first car to work on, and this isn't the first mod I've ever installed. Installing a cold air intake on my Cobra was harder than this because nothing fit properly and the mod required modification to make fit. It didn't take nearly as long, but was more of a pain in the ***.

 

Unless you have done this install ( I have ) you should not comment on how easy it is. There are other factors that come into play besides just putting you hands on the bolts.

I gain a crap load of midrange when I install my headers on the 05 Z I had.

 

Where you quoted me I just said that I had just completed the install.

Well I am glad to see yours was so easy. Mine I had 5 out of the 6 studs come out of the block. I have done my fair share of work and mine was not easy. It was not hard for me but 90% of people out there it would be. I dont want to miss lead people into buying these and trying to install them because someone said it was not hard.

 

I had absolutely no issues installing my strup headers on my Z. Took about 4.5 hours. I just removed the lower three studs from the block on each side and made my life easy then reinstalled the studs properly.

Worked great and went quick.

 

When I put on my Xerd longtubes a long time ago, it was a pita but doable. I had access to a lift so that helped. I don't remember the whp gains, but at the time it was ok for a NA Z.

OP where in Fl are you?

 

Did you read your own review? lol

 

.....owned that's why I leave it up to the professionals.

 

I heard it's depends on brand. Not sure, never install header in my life.

 

So what about that quote means a header install is hard? Some people look at multiplication problems and get scared. Ie, the faint of heart. Those who aren't willing to tackle something because it looks daunting, not because it is. Low pain tolerance? Yeah, you're probably going to bust a knuckle or two and get a few scratches. It happens during most under the hood mods, and some people are afraid to mess up their manicured nails. And if the car is your daily driver, and you can't get a ride to work, then don't do the install if you can't take some PTO time or do it on days off.

How does that make it a hard install? How does that quote and post make me owned?

I definitely don't recommend the install for a first timers first mod. Do a filter/cold air, then follow up with a plenum spacer or something. Get your feet wet. But those that have a few mods under their belt or some basic know how can get this job done.

 

6 hours for mine, but they were the second set ive done. Sux, i have another set to do here in a few weeks, but its $150 in my pocket.

 

it prob does depend on the type of headers being installed but i got the borla headers and those sucked to install.. i can care less about cutts and scratches lol but now i have to take the driver side header out agian and get it welded thank god its not the passenger side

 

Looks like Stang done got himself pwn'd....
