i would love to do it myself, but i dont have the expertise nor a garage. i was quoted by a local meineke who did my exhaust and he told me $500. Is that about what it is going to cost? if so i may have to do it myself.

I got quoted 500 for my LTs on my LS1.
...hence why I just did it myself. Hardest part was getting the car high enough in my driveway.

Yea man try and do it yourself. Take the money that you would spend on the install for headers and buy jack , ramps , and socket set. That'll be like 170. and get a can of pb blaster. for the old exauast manifold bolts. and btw go out and get yourself new spark plugs before you install your new headers you wont want to try and change them after you put headers on.

ok so i have decided to attempt the install myself. so if anyone hears of, car owner blows his car up in a rage on the nj news, thats me. Also, the hooker headers have one of the tubes on the driver side I believe that detaches. Does that need to be welded or do you just leave it? That is the one thing i am confused about.

Are you doing this on jack stands?
And you really should order new poly motor mounts and 02 extensions.

and plugs and wires. make sure you route the wires well away from the primaries. otherwise, you will burn them! have fun too, i would have paid someone  post up when you run into trouble.

If you have the entire week off, and already are going to have the stock exhaust manifolds off, then I recommend you do the motor mounts & the spark plugs now too. Make sure you have 2 band clamps, o2 sensor extensions, new gaskets & a lot of FluidFilm or PB Blaster... if you have a torch, even better!
I couldn't get my car high enough to get the cats & manifolds off together, so I ended up cutting the pipe with a Sawzall.
*edit*
^^this was on a LS1, not LT1

If you can't get the car high enough to take that jig saw puzzle off, I would give a lot of second thought to installing LTs.

Just take your time, get a friend to help, and make sure the car is properly supported. I also recommend that you do motor mounts at the same time.

Doable yes, it is not going to be fun though..
You also may need a little bottle jack to lift the engine off the mounts.
