Varies, depending on how badly corroded your hardware is, how many studs need to be replaced, and how handy you are with a sawsall / plasma torch!
under.. 2 hours
over...days
I have found the headers to be like the clutch.. easier to do with the engine out of the car, as the other way is just a huge pain in the ***...

Yea, thats kind of what I was getting at since most estimates vary wildly. Also I was wondering if they could be pulled with out pulling the motor. And you answered that. Can you? yes. Should you? no! lol
And here is a another source as some have asked:

WOW, just wow!
Tim, I get the point you're making, but not the smartest statement in terms of marketing there.
Makes you sound like you don't need, want or appreciate the 944 business.
I know, I know...it's a context thing.
So when it comes time, I'll be sure to look for LR, FabSpeed or OBX for my exhaust needs.

I've had the chance to meet Tim a few times in real life and I think you may be taking this the wrong way. He’s a class act stand up guy from what I got out of the meetings. I've also seen and held his products in real life. They look almost like art and perform great. I forgot he made 944 stuff till I read this thread.

I have now been driving with these headers for about 1k miles, and their still good.

In my view, it is not a performance part. Its more a replacement for the stock.
I don't feel any difference in performance, but there is snow on the ground here so it is hard to tell.
If you are looking for performance gains look elsewere.
If you have a crack pipe(..), and need a replacement it is ok so far.
