It will most likely be the last set he does on a G35 for $150.00 so, you better be the first one.

John is right on this.
I just installed Crawford headers,Cats and Invidia. About 12 hours for me.
My arms still hurt from all the work. I did it by myself.

It takes a professional shop about 8 hours to do the install. It took me about 12-14 hours since I had never done it before and I'd say Im pretty damn skilled. It was VERY time consuming and scratched the hell out of my arms!

Can you belive how tight all of the bolts are!! My god I was feeling the sockets were going to shatter.

I'd say that it depends on the length of the headers! Ding ding ding! We have a winner... now what's my prize?

The Crawford Headers require the engine being lifted off of its mounts. NO ONE can do this job in under 3 hours (not even Doug Stewart himself). Also, Racing Zone and Pimpinpearl are 'in bed together' so da-pimp gets deals that others would not even dream of. This is just his way of showing off like he loves to do. (But he really does have the good connections, and for this we all love him!)

If someone wanted to install DC Sport Headers, I'd be willing to bet that the job could be done in half the time...
