Step by step...

1. Find receipt from purchase
2. Return product
3. Be happy you didn't install them.

j/k!

Here's BBK's instructions, they should work for ya...
Step 1 Disconnect the negative battery terminal and place the vehicle on jackstands or use a drive on lift.
! CAUTION !
Use extreme caution under vehicle
Step 2 Remove the hose clamp at the throttle body, unplug the mass air sensor if so equipped and remove the complete
assembly for clearance.
Step 3 Remove the air injection assembly from the passenger side of the engine compartment.
Step 4 Remove the spark plugs and wires for easy access.
Step 5 Working from under the vehicle (use caution) remove the air tube from the h-pipe. Disconnect the h-pipe from
the headers and the muffler system and remove the h-pipe.
Step 6 Remove the stock exhaust manifolds and clean any gasket material from the heads. (Header removal is from
inside of the engine compartment.)
Step 7 Now remove the starter located on the passenger side. All this will allow is easy access when installing the
passenger side full-length. The starter can be reinstalled after the new header is bolted in-place.
Step 8 Remove the motor mount nuts from the drivers and passenger side. The nuts are located underneath the vehicle
and are easily accessible.
Step 9 With the motor mount nuts removed, you may now proceed to lift either side of the engine to gain easy access to
install the headers. The drivers side full-length will install from under the vehicle, while the passenger side must
be installed from above the engine. (For a guaranteed leak-free seal, we suggest a light coating of a high-temp
gasket sealer such as “ultra-copper” on both gasket surfaces.)
Step 10 Make sure to re-install the factory dip-stick tube assembly located on the drivers side. Then proceed to tighten all
16 header bolts to the cylinder head.
Step 11 You may now proceed to re-install all items which were originally removed from your Mustangs
engine compartment.
Step 12 Now swap the two oxygen sensors from your stock h-pipe to the fittings located on your full-lengths collectors
(to gain proper wire length, remove the wire loom from the chassis clips).

i believe you have to take the steering shaft off for the macs? and run it between the header tubes on the driver side.
