Header Question!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

78' Silverado · 06-02-2003, 05:12 PM

Ok i am getting some headers and cut-outs sometime this week. I found a guy that will do it all + the install for 350. My real question is, are they hard to install yourself? b/c if i can i will do it myself. i only got like 450 bucks and it would be nice to save a few bucks on doing the install myself. I am getting some flowtech headers and some race readies prolly. But for real anyone who knows anything about headers, plz infrom me on them lol. Thx alot GUYS!

I did mine with a friend. The hard part for me was hacksawing the old exhaust off because of the horrible looking and performing T-intersection the previous Owner used to connect the exhaust instead of a Y-pipe. The headers shouldn't be to hard to install if they are made for your application. We did it all in a day. If you are running pipe too it might be easier to have them do it all. When I get my full exhaust I plan on doing that on my own too but I'm not welding I'm going to bolt it all on.

$350 for installing headers and cutouts?

RUN!! That place is trying to ream you a new one. I got my X pipe with pipe done for $125. I had mufflers with me and headers installed. I would call around anc check other prices.
