Time to remove/replace Stainless Works headers?
How long (measured in beers, time, swears, whatever...) does it take to get a set of Stainless Works headers out and back into the car? Do they drop out the bottom or go in the top? I am planning to weld a couple wide band O2 bungs into them. I have a 4-post lift and all the usual tools. I've already had the exhaust behind the headers out, so I can do that pretty quickly.
What gaskets are recommended to go back on with? Thank you.

Ever do the swap? How bad was it?

I've done other C4s and it wasn't too bad.

10-15 mins per side. You work on a nascar team. That is awesome. You are way faster than me!

Re: Time to remove/replace Stainless Works headers?
Just a detail question but does everyone get every bolt reinstalled on their headers? I hate exhaust leaks an my last Z 90 VIN 103 had a manifold leak that I would fit every two years. Some say that you can't get all exhaust bolts installed, but I disagree.
