  • Header install quotes

    I want to put long tubes on my t/a. Speed Inc. said they would do it for $400. Does that sound reasonable or what have you guys been quoted at?

    That can't be total cost... do you already have the headers? There's no way the headers are included in that price.

      It would be $400 for the labor of the headers to be installed. No parts included.

          my take on the subject is this...... If you aren't mechanically inclined, $400 can seem like a bargain. If you are handy with a wrench, $400 can seem like you are being taken.

            I put on Pacesetter LTs this past weekend with a 3" Off-road Y and no cats. The drivers side went on in about 1 Hour, the other side took me about 8, but there was a significant lack of instructions(None) with my headers. The Headers are very nice and the Y Pipe fit like a glove. I just think I got a box without any instructions. I would say $300 would be a steal to pay someone to put em on.

              Nothing like the gratification of doing it yourself. Headers are an easy install relatively speaking.

                How loud is your car now? What kind of catback do u use? I have stock manifolds and y pipe with a cut out and just the cut out isnt loud enough for me. I want to do LT's, y pipe and stock exhaust becuase i have a cut out already there. What kind of tools would i need for install, my buddy went to UTI and he just put a supercharger on his 95 z, so u think he would be able to do this?

                  I am running it with a cutout on stock exhaust. Truly, it sounds shitty and I am already looking for a catback. It just sounds like a horrible exhaust leak. I would think that if your buddy can do a supercharger then he would be able to do this. The biggest tool is patience, do not rush yourself. I just used various box end wrenches, sockets and extensions, and swivels.

                    Just for refference I had my headers and catback installed at a dealership(yes you read right ) and it only cost me $425(Canadian $$ too). I had a buddy there that helped a little with the prices though. Wasnt a huge discount. So I think that $400 is a little much. If I could do it again I definately do it myself, I regret paying someone to do it. But the dealership's work is guaranteed for life.
