not too bad...just getting the bolts off can be a pain without an air tool

Depends on where your at really. If you are in an area that gets rust it can be pretty bad. However its straight forward for a header... not to sure how your going to get headers on the car personally.

I'm just busting your balls a little! lol When you say headers you implying installing more then one... you can only put one on a 4 banger.

Just a basic tool set. An 02 sensor socket def helps

if no can, wd40 is a must. a 2 pc header also helps.

I did it with regular tools and a lift, HOWEVER the biggest pain in the ASS was getting the EGR to line up properly. Holy hell did that suck.
