nah not really to be honest with you. EG might be a little higher than some of the other mom and pop shops but they Guarentee their work so you don't have to worry about something getting screwed up and them going its not our problem.

A mom and pop near me quoted me $125 a side I said no thank you and did the install myself for free! Super easy, do it your self

:ack:

They didn't properly tighten a single header bolt on my C5Z. You could spin 2 of the bolts by hand, and the x pipe was not installed properly. Place is a joke compared to the shops in Houston.

We are not the shop, our price is more than you paid for the headers. Try knocking it out yourself, it is not that bad just get a couple of friends over and make a party of it.:thumbs:

I recommend calling Wally at Auto Adrenaline Performance (you can google it using that name)

They do my tuning and installed my converter and underdrive pulley.

Highly recommend them and they have awesome prices.

lol thats the 2nd reason I did not take it to them lol. However I have used this shop to fix a few cars exhaust systems and they did great work and it barely cost me $30 each time. SO in the future I still plan to use them but not todo an install, just to do fixes
