I don't care if it takes "you" 2 hrs to install them, the labor rate system doesn't work that way. You haven't worked in a shop have you?
A $50/per hour shop??? Where? Haven't seen those cheap ones. It must be located in the middle of "Nowhere's Ville"!
You'll find 4-6hrs of labor time for this type of job.

6 hours of labor to install headers is a rip off. most ppl cant even turn a wrench are the ones getting beat over the head in prices

I totally agree with those charges and the amount of time for a header install.
I too do my own work. Though if I ran a shop, I wouldn't be screwing my myself with such low charges to a customer and having to pay my techs more than what I charged.......
It only makes sense.
