We are located in Pompano Beach at the Sample Road exit. That sounds like a high number. If you want to reach out to us Monday we can help you get setup!

Our contact number is in my sig!

Try Eismans Corvette Center in Jupiter. They are expensive, but VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE in all things Corvette.

Sounds a bit high for a straight forward job like headers if they are new and just an install. No shop likes dealing in used parts as it can present issues, especially headers. Eismans is a nice shop, not cheap but great for maintenance stuff, not really a speedshop.

Having been to many of the south Florida shops the one I would pick and use is Redline. A header install is a walk in the park for them. Clean straight forward shop. I'm in Jupiter and drive there if that tells you anything!

Not trying to take away from Redline, But another option is Extreme Performance in Palm City. I don't know how much they charge, but they have done some work for me on my procharged car. So far so good.

Eismans was over 1k to install. Hell they wanted almost 120 for an oil change. They may be good but they definitely go by the Corvette tax

Bottom line there is a lot of money in Jupiter, and they just figure they can extract it from you. Their clientel is more affluent people and older who want the convenience of local. I am all for patronizing, and supporting local business , but they are unreasonable with pricing. Give Redline a shout and lets us know how that works. I have found them reasonable. Clean, knowledgable,and great work. Plus vettes are their specialty. Good luck!

Wow, a buyers inspection, or any inspection is usually 125.00, that crazy.

You might want to contact Top Flight Auto ((561) 228-8745) in West Palm. They are over by the airport on N Military Trl. They do a lot of work on vette's.

I used a great speed shop in your neck of the woods....Horsepower Sales.
They do it all...cams, gears, and engins. They did my harmonic balancer and A/C compressor. Give them a call 1-800-432-1237 and ask for Rodger.
