I have a 2015 Z51 with the NPP exhaust. I'm thinking about keeping the stock exhaust and getting headers. Does anyone have a estimate on how much it would cost fr the header install?
Also, do you think this is a good idea?

Thanks for your input!
Mike

why not find the shop you want to do the job and just ask them? As far as being a good idea, depends on why you want them ...sound, hp, etc --

A friend of mine had his C7 done for 3200. Included parts, labor, tune, and dyno. Gained 32hp.

Takes around 6-8 hours for installation and you'll be paying the shop hourly rate plus parts. If getting long tubes you'll likely need a tune or you'll hit a CEL.

For not much more you could boost the car and get close to 150-200 instead of 30-50+

Go for what you want and good luck

The first part of the build at $4k seems high for headers and intake. The second part (if installed) seems ridiculously low.
