Be careful in picking someone to do your installation, you can save a few bucks with a backyard operation but the chances for problems are too high. I recommend having one of the supporting vendor tuners do the work. I'm happy with my Cartek package but they're quite a trip for you. Check with Breathless, they're closer.

You should also plan on long tube headers. All these mods including the labor will run approximately 6-7K.
