Depends on how the headers you use and many studs you have to extract!
Unlike many vehicles, there is adequate room to work and parts can slip in and out.
If you use Banks headers and don't have to replace any studs, it is pretty much a bolt on, 2 wrenches out of 5.
If you use E-Bay headers, you have to cut a notch in the frame, which adds a wrench.
If you have to extract broken studs, add another wrench or two. And a lot of time.

Awesome i think the 70 sounds like i got just a little more rumble, awesome at a idle and not obnoxious at all then give a little more sound on the top end , but the might be the the in take or spacer not sure, i haven't drove a lot yet to here it , but its well worth the money, i was worried that it would be to raspy but its very conservative. and yes get the 5star sct from mike rad~~~
