Header install ?

I havent been able to run out and look, but is it possible to gain access to the stock exhaust manifolds by taking out the inner fender well (plastic shrouds) to install the headers? Anyone know? Thanks!

I don't think so, but take a look you may be able to get to a bolt or two.

Do you have the headers already?

No. I have heard headers are a big task. Like 8 hours of labor, if you know what your doing. I heard it is simply put a PITA

From what I understand not many people have headers because they are so hard to replace.

they really don't give you many benefits on these cars, and they are a pain to install
