Did em myself but most guys are around the 600-1000 mark and extra if the Lt didn't come with the crossover that goes into the factory exhaust.

I usually do all my own work but I hear they can be a pain and July Sc driveway repairs are brutal.
How many hours would you say?

It took me about 8 hrs. I also had shortys on so that added time taking those off. Stock manifolds are way easier to take off.

Oh man been there. Had 2 sets of shorties I installed. Also had to remove broken bolts. Then installed long tubes after removing the shorties. Long weekend. Some of the bolts are very small turns at a time. Especially if you have bigger hands and fingers.

Or short arms like me [emoji1787] yeah baby turns. Some of them really suck when ur not paying attention and find out that on the last three bolts two had to be put in with the header loose or they won't go in after. Ohh man I was usin bad words lol

The two middle bolts on the under side of the driver side header are a **** to start.
I just installed AFE LT's this past weekend and strongly recommend professional installation.
