I did my Borlas in the driveway by myself in about 2 hrs. If you've to a decent floor jack and some stands you can do it yourself. It's even easier if you don't want to save the old ones. Then you just cut them off and install the new ones. I saved my old ones.

Had my B&B catbacks installed at a local muffler shop - about an hour and $50 later I was on my way.

I had my Magnaflows installed at a Midas and it was the same $$ as above.

took us 40 minutes including the ramps, then jacking, and jack stands. The passenger side was kinda tight to wiggle it out. If we did the ZO6 setup in less than an hour, I would say the dealer time would be about 4 to 5 hours....I think they abuse Vette owners to keep them away.
