Default Header install

How much should a good set of headers with o2 extenders cost me installed?

Someone is having a sale on Kooks installed for under $1500 (no cats) and that's a great deal. I would think most shops would charge around $300 for an install, shouldn't take them more than 4 hours.

It's an easy install, do it yourself, I did mine on jackstands in my garage.

Most local shops around here quote 500+ for long tube install. Look in this forum for the special on Kooks installed. Call them and they can give you a price on cost if you want them shipped instead of installed. It is a good price.

Put my LG's on 100% by myself in my garage. The hardest part about my install was actually getting the car up onto the jacks. I don't own any ramps, so I had to do a little extra work to get the car up.

I had my headers, x pipe, borla and vararam. I called a local speed shop. They quoted me $1100 for install..... I with the help of a friend did it all in 6.5 hours....on jack stands.
