[QUOTE="fuelforfire87, post: 15565597, member: 172024"] Well, some people say its not that bad, but this was my first time installing headers where you had to jack up the engine and remove the motor mount brackets, starter and whatnot. I would definitely drop the k member while doing it. I made the mistake of installing the bmr k member first and the headers a few months after and even with the extra clearance the bmr k member, some of the bolts are really hard to get to. Also the shape of the kooks long tubes being different from most other brands makes it harder. For me the driver's side was a lot easier than the passenger side. If you have an auto there are transmission cooler lines that get in the way. On the passenger side there is an AC line directly in front of the front most top stud. I was unable to remove that stud so I just re-used the stock header nut at that location and the header bolts everywhere else. Make sure you have a wide variety of tools at your disposal like ratcheting wrenches, socket extensions, u joint sockets, etc. [/QUOTE]
