How difficult is it to install headers on my 03 L?
I already have a Bassani Catback
Now looking to do headers but it looks like it will be a pretty long undertaking.
whats all involved as in what needs to be removed to install them?
thanks

Take the wheel liners out and it's a snap...

It's not bad at all assuming you are talking long tubes. Driver's side drops right in the passenger side is a little more involved but still not bad. About two hours. Basic hand tools. Ratcheting wrenches do help.

I thought my Kooks long-tubes were just about the easiest set of headers I ever installed...I have heard that shorties are a real PITA though.

Installing the locking bolts on the long tubes took the longest part for me...you need Gumby's help to get around those pipes
