my mechanic did mine as it was corroded and leaking. bit of a pain in the *** as i remember as you have to remove the inlet manifold etc to get to them.

i hope im thinking of the right pipes actually! mine ran across the top of the block under the inlet manifold and were corroded and leaking. it looks the same as the one i had to have replaced.
