Add about 1200 for the meth between kit and install.

Headers are what $1800 plus install and its already at the shop?
Alky installs are quoted between $800-$1200
Header installs are $500 roughly
S/C installs are $1500 roughly.
Tunes are $500-$700
Add parts.
Of course this will be different between tuners.

I don't know who pays that. I installed my own stuff but I did get quotes from about 4 places before I did it myself.

Where are you getting your info?

What I paid.

$4700 for the ECS Kit
$650 for the Meth
$1200 for Meth/SC install. I paid $700 and $600 because I did it separately

You got a good deal but your math doesn't add up. Add $2300 for headers and install and you're just $1000 ish from $12000. You just saved about $800-1000 on the blower install. A blower installed and tuned is $1500 all day long. Meth is about 8 hours also, $800-$1000 depending on the labor rate.

Where does my math not add up?

My kit installed was $7150, and the extra $100 was because I did meth after the fact.

ARH's are $1800 from a vendor, even at $500 for install that $9350, long way from 12K

I've got my invoice around here, it was $8300 total but I also did a Crazy Cowboy sound deadening extreme kit and steering wheel swap.

$9350 is a deal. If you go look at the normal price of those items they are higher then what you paid and will be in the ballpark of what I came up with.
