Yeah ok
I'm looking at headers for my 03 MY. Local vette tuner recomends Melrose Smooth flow headers. He wants $3000 installed including a tune. How does that price sound?
I have also been reading about other brands including Kooks and LG. Melrose are not SS but ceramic coated. Any advantage. I want them to last and not rust out as on other cars I've had. Melrose say they fit with no more ground clearance than stock. I like that.
Has anyone out there installed their own. I'm a good mechanic and can do about anything but headers somtimes can be a pain but would save me some money.
Any advice would be helpful

one thing that is often overlooked is shops are going to recommend what products that they are a distributor for (lowest cost for them)it is a business no profit no business top shops get the BEST products to distribute... manufacturers want the best shops to sell there wares because they move more product = more profits for both and reputations grow for both more volume the greater the discount .
Just ask a shop to install a product they don't distribute its going to cost you more they get no volume discount .
