Bart,

 It is 100 times easier in a 4spd car. With the automatic it is alot trickier. I did not say it was impossible just a pain in the butt. The starter is a pain to put in as you install the headers, and you can't install the header with the starter in place they have to go in together. And thats just the 1 5/8" primary headers. go with the bigger tubes and then you run into other issues, like strut rod bracket, shock tower, steering shaft, starter, they start to hit everything.
