Default Header install, east bay pref anyone?

Anyone here able to do a comptech header install for me next Monday afternoon/evening or Tuesday (all day)? Preferably in the East Bay as I live in Benicia. Want to get this in and tuned before the AutoX on 10/2.

I have:

- Header
- Header-Engine Gasket
- 2/3 Nut/Bolt assembly (I could only get 2 sets at the dealership, figured we wouldn't break all three anyways)

I don't have any of the header-cat springs as I'm sure those won't break, and was told the donut gasket is fine to re-use. I'm not exactly a wrencher, but will be willing to help out. Obviously willing to pay.

Thanks!

it's a bolt on job. i suggest giving it a try yourself. the only difficult thing is the lack of space to work with.

I installed my comptech header myself. Wear gloves when you handle the header so you don't create hand prints on the nice shiny header. It's a tight fit and I remember having the header rest on my body while I was under the car.

I literally have no jacks, or tools of my own.

I understand it's a bolt on job, and I'm competent enough to do it. I just don't have the resources at all.
