I've got the E55 at the dealer for an oil change and I asked them to give it a thorough going-over to see what repairs are needed. Among other things, they said both motor mounts are collapsed and both exhaust manifolds are cracked at the collector.

I guess that means now is a good time to get headers! I think I'm going to get the ARH Long Tubes with cats. My question is, can I reasonably expect to swap both mounts and install both headers by myself in the driveway over a weekend, or should I start looking for a buddy with a lift?

I've done ARH headers on an E55 in my garage on jackstands before. Definitely not for a beginner but nothing but nuts and bolts if you're familiar with the car.

Are the O2 sensors plug-n-play on the ARH headers (with cats)?
