Yeah it's hard for me to gauge the actual time we spent, as we were still finishing up the Scout project while working on the Z, it was spread over two days, and we took lots of breaks... but it was probably in the 8-ish hour range of actual time spent working on the Z. 2-3 hours of that probably could've been saved if it weren't for the O2 sensor issues.
However, I don't mean to turn anyone off of the headers completely. As I said, they look like they're really well made, and while I haven't fired the car up yet, I'm expecting I'm going to be extremely pleased with the final result. I'm just trying to turn people off from attempting a self-install. It's not worth it, IMHO. Let someone who does this sort of thing on this sort of car every day take care of it. This is a case where the shop labor charges are probably well worth it.
