You can do it yourself men. try to take out the swaybar first. The problem of the dc header is its one piece so u need to wiggle that bitch around lol.

so all i have to remove is my sway bar to get enough space for my header to fit?

Easiest way. Remove the away bar bushings and end links. Take the away bar out. Install it from the bottom. Otherwise the heater hoses get in th way. So you can drain the coolant and scratch a ton of stuff. Or take the time from the start and remove the couple extra parts.

If you don't have access to a lift this is what I did to make it fit. Really tight squeeze.

First I jacked the front all the way up and two stands on the side. Couldn't do it cuz the rh was hitting the ground.

Drop it back down and jack only the driver side all the way up. Loosen the sway bushing and wobble/squeeze it in. Good luck and hope this helps
