Yeah, the DP/Header is not hard to replace your self. Make sure the bolts are tightened well, because when I put on a temporary flex replacement earlier this month, the bolts were no where near tight enough, causing it to leak.

I've seen that happen with a few people, because people are typically cautious tightening those bolts in fear of cracking the gasket.
