They say the install is a bitch. I would attempt it myself though.

You will need to lengthen the o2 sensor wires.

one more thing, i found mac full length headers for only $360, the bbk i was going to buy are $500. is there a significant difference. is it worth spending the extra money?

(and what are these eliminators i was told i would need if i didnt have?)

MAC makes a good header, but their coating is shit. You'll see your headers start to rust within the year.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the reason the BBK's were a bit pricey was due to stainless construction. The headers on my mom's Cobra still looked pretty new 3-4 years down the road when she traded it in on the '03. I don't know if they were stainless or just had a top-notch coating, but they looked way better than any MAC header I've seen of the same vintage.
