Not trying to talk you out of them or anything, but I've only been here a short time and have seen countless posts all agreeing that headers did absolutely nothing for the Z. I have yet to see a post defending them.

What brand are you getting? As Terrasmak mention it's easy if you have the tools/time/mechanically inched to see the job through.

Headers are a pain install hence the bad jojo surround them...

Geez,how many times is this header stuff gonna come up.
Not worth the money and effort unless you are FI.
I've got Nismo headers on my NA Z,useless.
Don't know why but on a car with like a small block Ford,
slap on some headers,pretty easy job.OK results.
Not so with a Z.

I wouldn't waste my time with the Megan headers, at least go with a set of DC shorties. PPE headers are great, but you need supporting mods to get your money's worth out the them.

I do have a set of DC's for sale, the add will be posted tomorrow if they don't sell locally

Just get the Megan's and put the car on a lift. Should be about a 20-30 min job per side.
