why would you do that? you don't need to, that would just take more effort and more time.

I put my Pacesetters on a few months ago.

1. Have a lift, it will make your job so much easier
2. if you have access to a torch, just torch the stock manifold/ypipe connecting bolts off
3. 10mm 1/4 socket and rachet are your best friends, especially the last manifold bolt on the passenger side.

Passenger side header slides right up in..no problems

Driver side header, I unhooked my steering column, moved it out of the way and put the header in...hooked the steering column back up and away I went. 5-7 minute job.

If you are planning on doing this job on jack/jackstands...good luck...I did one set of headers for my friend that way and it totally sucked.

If you're in/near Lancaster PA and need help, PM me...hope all is well and good luck with your install!
