But, is installing the header something that can be done with jack stands as some people have said they used? I put in my CAI and catback myself and was hoping the header would also be something I would be capable of doing without resorting to an exhaust shop..

That being said, what tips/info can be given from anyone who has used jack stands that you might have deemed as useful to know before your install?
I did mine all by my self.... jack, jack stands, and your basic tools. Only thing other than basic tools (if you don't have already) a breaker bar, pb blaster, and swivel heads (wish i had these!!). BUT, if you have access to a lift or at least have someone to lend you a hand, do it.

Sliding the old header out and new header in was a freaking breeze. The parts that took me the longest was all the steps in between lol....no space and being on your back doesn't speed things along. Not guna lie, took me about 4hrs doing it by my self with some breaks.

I suggest you print out this DIY to have it handy.
