Unhappy Need Help Installing Headers!!!

I got some new headers for my camaro and it seems to be the biggest pain out of anything i have done for this car. does anyone know where i can find out exactly how to do this, or even any tips atleast? Im by LA and i will pay money for someone to help me out. its been the most frusterating thing for me lately and i am about to just give up.

Take your time, there's tons of FAQs out there that walk you through the process. If you get stuck on a certain point of the process post up what the problem is and maybe someone has some tips. If you get stuck on every step of the process, you might consider just finding someone to do it for you.

well I have all the spark plugs off, the crosspipe and the left side manifold off. right now i am just stuck on getting the steering shaft and dipstick off. ive been looking and think i might have figured it out. i'm in the military so im pretty busy during the day and dont have much time to work on it just by myself.

Take your TIME

I just did this about a month ago, steering linkage had to be disconnected... p.s its a pain in the *** to reconnect. As for the oil dipstick, we um kinda bent the hell out of it to get it out of the way, then after the header was installed we bent it back making sure there were no sharp bends in it. Take your time is the biggest thing i can suggest. PB blaster, 2 friends and 2 days after we started we finally finished. When people say its an 8 hr job, it is and that's if bolts come off as they are suppose to.

well ive been working on it myself, and its taken me 6 days so far lol. I have the left side finished now, and on the right side i just have the last bolt all the way in the back that i just cant get off. Other than that, i think im good (hopefully).

I just ordered some kooks headers. i am going to pay someone to do it. I know I could do them but just don't have the time (mainly because i have never done them before). it sure seems rough to have to spend as much in labor as the headers but I think I will be better off!
