my buddy has an impact gun, not air powered but it works just as well. It wasnt expensive either. I think its nikita brand or something, i cant remember. Anyway it was a great purchase, well worth the money paid. As far as being under the car, i def recomend ramps over jack stands when doing work like that. Its always un-nerving working under a car held up by anything other than a lift, but the ramps add a little piece of mind. you can always add the jack stands as a back up.

Using my high school's lift i raised it up, and with some sockets and a 1/4" bar for torque, took care of every thing in my exhaust swap. its all reusable except i cut the hangars off because the bolts were really rusted and i didnt want to f*ck with them. Tookabout 5 hrs for 3 people. mainly because of inexperience. Bear in mind that was the full thing. The header wasnt too hard.

WOW .... 5 hours with a lift?!? Since you have a real shop to use, why didn't you just chop up the stock exhaust with an asbestos wheel? Then you just have to worry about the 3 bolts on the cat. PB Blaster and an impact gun at 200 psi would take that off in a half hour!

Its done of course. Like i said, inexperience. And i salvaged the exhaust thats why i kept it intact. and each new hangar had to be lubricated because the hangar was too wide for the hole in the rubber pieces on the car. (that sounds dirty. lol). It was more like 4 hrs by the time we started and such.

Alright i kinda figured its a too good to be true kinda thing.
Thanks for the advice.. now i hear DC makes a good header along with Megan... So here is my find ,the Megan__http://www.optionimports.com/meraststheho2.htmlWhich is a really low price.. then the DC__http://www.optionimports.com/hhc5018.html. I understand that the DC sport header is going to be buying the name as well , but with that is paying for the name ,which is good but i also dont wanna spend more then i have to. Basically i dont wanna get crap but i also dont wanna spend more then i have to ( the story of eveyones life.. i kno) So if any one has any imput that would be appreciated !!!

Thanks !!!!
