KCMO Area Header Install Recommendations?
I just bought LG lt headers and am trying to find a shop that will install them for a reasonable price and figured someone here has to know where to go.

You can try MC Racing - not sure what their prices are anymore on header installs. Last time I checked with them, I was quoted a rather high price for the install, but I have to wonder whether or not the person giving me the quote made a mistake.
A previous time there, I was quoted $400 for just the install and the last time it was $1K.
Another avenue to explore is get in touch with someone from the Kansas City Corvette Association - surely someone in that really large club has installed headers and would know of a good place to have the work done.

That is the only shop I ended up finding that would do it and they want $450. I think I'm going to try to borrow a lift for a day and get them mounted then get my muffler shop to weld them because that's outrageous.

I think you'll find that $400 or so is a pretty standard price for a LT header install. I've been quoted that price by several shops. But if you can do it yourself, might as well save the bucks. Still can't understand why I was quoted $1K that one time - must not have wanted to do the job at all.

Call Santa Fe Garage in Indep. 816-977-1020 and ask for Greg Smith.
I just took all my wheels and tires to them for rebalancing. Unbelieveable cool shop, id bet they'd do it. The only question would be...how much? These guys are a great find, true pros for sure.
Shoot me a PM and we could talk too.

The headers sound amazing on the car too, just in case you were wondering.
