Not really hard, just time consuming. Just make sure you give yourself an entire day to get it done. Having a friend help is always a good idea.

What you need:
wrenches, sockets, metric tools, pliers
some extensions, welder and saw.

Nothing outta the ordinary. The install wont be that hard, just time consuming like everyone has implied. The hardest part would be taking off the old manifolds off. I'l be doing this soon, so i can probably help you out.
