I think it would be much easier than doing the long tubes. I would guess around 4+ hours. Half the header bolts you have to get to from under the car and the other half from the top.

Why do the work for nothing.
I had LTs on my white 2006.
Most of the rest of the exhaust was changed too.

I have BBK headers and high flow catted x pipe on mine and very happy with fit and finish. Stainless FTW! I think KOoks are one of the more expensive headers out there great quality though

If your Stockton is the one in CA, remember none of the LTs are CARB legal. "smogging" is an issue without "contacts." I got a set of macs off a friend for doing some work and love them. Install is a HUGE PITA, but shorties require about 80% of the work and only give about 20% of the gain.

^^ This^^ Even with contacts the CHP and local depts. have the authority to do random visual inspections and impound on the spot. STAR testing won't pass you without everything checking out visually and OBDII wise. Don't even mess with trying to skirt it. I am part of a small locall mustang group and two of our members cars were stopped on other traffic violations (tint) and impounded because of long tunes and o2 sensors turned off. They ain't fugging around in CA anymore.
