Yup nice an easy is it blowing where the headers bolt on the heads? If so 3 nuts (14mm) each side an 2 bolts for the up pipe, give it all a clean off so sufaces are clean bolt up with new gaskets don't forget to unplug the lamber sensor if it has one on the headers drivers side (just before the up pipe)

Gaskets are pretty easy to replace as Tone has said. Good to see to today as well!
