Default TPIS header install price?

How much did you pay to get your TPIS headers installed and what was the quality of the work? What can I expect? Also how much does the install price for shorties compare?

I still want the long tube but just curious.

I have my 1999 Coupe at Tony's Corvette Shop as we speak. One of the things being done is install of TPIS Long Tubes.

As ony explained it to me the cats should be cut out of the existing exhaust system and placed back in the system after header install keeping them in the same relative placement as before headers.

This requires additional pipe cutting and welding.

I am paying about $700 for install.

I am not sure about the price for install of shorty headers but it would have to be less as it is so much easier to do that install.

Good luck!

:D

LT's: 4-6 hours at $65 an hour is what the figures here in DFW are.

ST's: 2-3 hours at $65 per.
