You should have just done them yourself. And the heat shields aren't that bad, there is only like 10 or so 10mm bolts.

20 hours on a car with the header easily ava? :eek:

Like everybody else said, the header bolts are the hardest part. I did mine when I tried to do the heads, so everything was there and easy to get to ;)

I would have done them myself, but I just don't want to take the time. If I was to do it, it would have been done here and there, and would have taken weeks if not months. I just have too much going on in my life to be dinking around on my car. Not that I don't enjoy messing with cars, it's just not a priority anymore. 10 years ago, I would have looked forward to doing a job like the headers. Ahh, the good old days, drinkin beer with a friend doing our own mechanic work on our cars. :p Now all I do is house projects. Well, at least the exhaust is all done, and holy shit, it is way louder than I expected. My wifey will no likey!
