Nothing. Do it yourself. It's not that difficult and you'll have the satisfaction knowing you did it.

There are a lot of people out here in Corvetteland (myself included) who either can't or don't want to do that kind of work on a car. Is all he's looking for is an idea on the cost to get the work done. Unfortunately, your answer tells him nothing...

Well, it's about 4-6 hours labor. I'd say it would be about $350 to $500 depending on the shop. Where are you located? There might be some shops in your area...

Cost me $30 to have my x-pipe installed at a local muffler shop. Been quoted $400 for an LT header install.
