I have seen those articles already. If welds are a problem, I have access to some VERY good welders who can clean up anything. So that'* not going to be a problem. I'm mainly interested in anyone that has installed them, how easy was it, ect.

I installed them.
Install was very easy and I followed it word by word from the instructions. You need to cut part of the EGR tube off so it fits in the header. Many suggest using aftermarket clamps, but I didn't, and I am leak free. You will need to buy a 12-15" oxygen sensor extention. Don't use the stock paper gaskets, re-use your originals, or buy new ones. You will need to get a w-body trans dipstick tube.
Are you sure you read all 3 links I posted above?
