is it hard to install headers yourself? if not how do you do it? and if so then how much roughly would it cost to get them installed?

Yeah, it should be straight forward. If anything, you need to lube the bolts real well...

I'd suggest a new header gasket... The tC's header is in the front, so it's easy to install...unlike the xA/xB...

Truthfully, and it's up to you miller3624, I didn't change the gasket, however my car only has 1800 miles on it so I didn't feel the need. I just cleaned it up, and put some new sealant on it.

great thats kind of what i figured i will just do it myself then. and my car only has 1200 miles on it so i think i could just clean the gasket too.

The tC is alot easier to swap out the headers than an xA or xB. Like Mike stated, everyting is up front.
