Default Header Installer- Western PA

Anyone know of a reliable shop that can install a set of LG's in the Western PA - Pittsburgh area? Thanks, Joe.

From what I've read the LG's are one of the easiest headers to install, so I would think any competent mechanic could do it. Finding an honest & competent mechanic isn't always as easy, maybe check in with your closest Vette club for a few recommendations.

A good mechanic should do it in 2.5 hours, I just did them in 6 hours (and I am really slow!). The hardest part was running the rear O2 extensions.

You are not only generous, you are quick! I could see that I could get it to 4 hours with practice. Sure wish you lived in the Phoenix area, I love your price!
