It seems pricy to me. I'm willing to bet you could do better. Also the only things that you might not be able to do yourself are the headers and x-pipe.
The rest if the things are easily installed with some patience.
Good luck! :cheers:

$1,000 to install an exhaust in a C-5 is alittle pricey..its a 6 to $700 job..
The headers are pretty easy to get to on a C-5.. Getting the passenger side one on is a little pain but not that big of a deal.. All the bolts are pretty easy to get a ratchet on.. good luck.. :seeya

Re: $$$$ for Mods / Labor (akw408)
So what vendor would you recommend to purchace these Items through?
no one commented on the vortex equip, so I assume it is a 'fair' price.
Thanks again

Vortex ram Air w/poweduct- $459
Corsa w/pro tips- $875
Corsa x-pipe- $225
TPIS Long Tube Headers- $849
These items may not be EXACTLY the same ones you were quoted on, but it'll give you a general idea on how much the stuff is. Also keep in mind that these forum vendors may be out of your state so you can also save $$ on the taxes :smash: Compare prices and enjoy the big :D you will have when the mods are on!

Re: $$$$ for Mods / Labor (RoliO)
I agree with what other forum members have said. Your installation prices seem high. I paid $350 to get my TPIS headers installed and around $50-60 for the exhaust.
