Do you need to take the car apart to put in headers? Was it hard to install the headers yourself?

You could probably install the headers without putting the car in service mode but it makes it alot easier. I can install the headers in under 4 hours in my drive way...i could probably do it faster on a lift. The header install it itself is really not hard it is intimidating to people because others have had trouble installing them or taking parts off there car scares them. I did the install without having to remove my steering connector or disconnect the ac lines that everyone else does

Damn that's crazy. That picture where you have the whole front end in pieces. Idk how you do that. When I start building up a big parts pile I get nervous and want to go back. And it seems like something always breaks

Yo, are you serious right now? "Aren't there a lot of black people?"... then you apologize by saying you meant "low lifes"? You some how think that was better? Normally a funny "that's racist" meme would follow but there is nothing funny about that... what year is this again?!

Damn man very nice indeed. Didn't even see you where in Valdosta intill now, I've lived here for a while now. And have a 04 coupe myself that I've been working on. Would love to come check it out in person. Wanted to do a few things to mine this weekend. But as I'm sure you've seen the weather sucks this weekend.
I've been trying for a while now to get a g/350z club going for a while now. Maybe it's something you'd like to think about. Shoot me a pm and ill give you my number. Always love to talk to a fellow car guy.
