its easy i have little to no wrenching skills and did it. get new gaskets and loctite and you will be good. You will have to use a little muscle to get the pipes around the juggs get the front one first then the back it makes it easier.

It is easy, did mine and it was the first time I had ever installed pipes. Just make sure to get a service manual to get the proper torque requirements.

YES it is SUPER easy to do what you are talking about... for exhaust gaskets use the stock ones (buy new stock ones) the SE ones they are going to sell you are the same thing, just cost more
Actually the S/Easkets are different then the stock.The se fit inside the head with flat serfaces and the stock are tapered.Some like the taper,I find with the v/h pipes if they have the flat front the se work better.

As for SE air cleaner, that will give you a much leaner condition on the stock system. If you are going to get the stock Stg.1 map from the dealer, and you don't have far to drive, then go ahead and install. If it is like 20-30 miles to the shop, let them put the air cleaner on (again, if you are going to have just the Stg.1 map....) which by the way costs a mininum of 150 bucks.... which is why the shop is called the "stealer" and not "dealer".

However if you get the V&H Fuelpak or the Power Commander, then put it on when you put everything else on, read the directions, punch in the settings and you should be good to go....even without a dyno run.
