Headers and Test pipes DIY?

Does anyone know where I can find a Headers and test pipes DIY? I got some Stainless Steel Strup headers and Turboxs test pipes off craigslist for only $200 (Headers are $760 retail and pipes are ~$160) and would like to install them myself. I do have access to a lift. Thanks in advanced for help.

Without cams the headers will only produce marginal gains so definitely not worth the effort.

Headers and all the exhaust is usually not hard. If you can use a ratchet, you can swap them out.

Hardest part is sometimes finding the bolts and/or breaking your arm in enough places to be able to reach the bolt.

Thank you for the test pipe DIY! Now I just gotta find the headers one. And as for hp gain the headers are dyno proven for 14-15hp gain and the test pipes are dyno proven for 8-10 I am just trying to brake 300hp.

1. what other mods were done to the car that they dyno tested and 2. was that dynotest put out by the people who make the headers? 300hp is doable but it's going to take a lot of money, and if you are going to stay NA then it will take a lot of work, time, hair tearing out etc.

This will be my first performance modifications. Everything I've done to my car is been things visual and things like touch screen head unit, 12inch kicker cvr 10inch L5 things like that. I have seen other people dyno test after installing on 350z forums that have proven gains.

preferably a link to the 350z thread. Like I said I'm skeptical of these numbers, but would love to be proven wrong.
