You can get "bolt on" systems that are relatively easy to install, however a lift is really really really nice to have, since alot of the pipes are long and being on the ground with jacks and stands isn't always enough.

So, the answer to your question, is do you like a fatter wallet or do you like cussing yelling and screaming?

Put the headers on yourself then pull it to a shop and have them put the rest on,they have a bender,straps and can weld at all up for you in less time. A good shop can do the job in about a hour.I gave up doing it,always had a leak where I clamped the pipes togather and being welded is alot better then clamps. If they put the headers on they will have it all day.Check about the cost on headers installed or not and go with what fits your wallet on cost.

Yeah I meant a lift to lift the car so you could get underneath. Do yourself a favor and put on a good set of flowmaster mufflers. I had a couple off the shelf turbo's a few years back and they were crap. I've know quite a few people who weren't really happy with glass packs, although they are about the loudest you can get. A flowmaster 1 chamber will really give it a bang too.
