Installation of JVT Racing Headers

I want to know if anyone knows the steps I will need to take to install the JVT Racing Headers from the SER Altima. Any information would be helpful!

I'm guessing it's just like any other header install. Time & patience.

Cattman claims less than 6 hours for his, and they actually have both manifolds

, very reasonable time.

If you take your time, etc, things should go smoothly. If you get frustrated, chillax for a while, then get back at it.

I plan to have the car down for a day or two and do it right with the exhaust at the same time and if I'm lucky the sway and strut bars...

Good plan, always plan more than 1 day.

So, where's the other manifold, from the FS thread, I never saw 2 manifolds, only one.

I suggest to get OEM gaskets because the one with headers usually suck,and you do not want to do the job twice and buy O2 simulators to prevent CEL light from comin on...

Looks like I'll be selling these to some lucky Altima owner. I already have someone ready to get it but I didn't realize the Cattman headers are available.
