I just got a quote from a local shop to do my exhaust. Heres what I am getting:
Pacesetter Lt's installed (I'm providing the actual LT's)
Magnaflow cats (I'm providing)
2 Magnaflow mufflers
X pipe
O2 bungs welded in
Collectors attached to the LTs
2 tips for the exit

$450 for the header install and around $600 for everything else.
So $1000-1100 out the door. Sounds high to me. I could install the headers myself and trailer it to the exhaust shop I guess. What do you guys think?

 

450 for a header install sounds way high to me, however I always do my own installs so I dont really know what the going rate is. Out of all the headers I have installed I never did any that justified a 450 price tag, now if it was in a front wheel drive v8 then quite possibly.

 

I paid about that for a header install- that included the retorque after i forget how many heat cycles, and a guaranty.

 

There is a lifetime guarantee on the mufflers and the hangers etc…. so I guess that’s something. But for $450, I think I could install the headers myself in an afternoon.

 

Yes Your Can

 

i did mine in one morning...headers and aft cat....
oh cost.....350 for pacesetter lt's and ory used and 217 for a new single heartthrob mandral bent exhaust with their hvs series muffler xiting out the stock location...

 

Way to high!! Shop around. If you know someone who has a welder, than try that route.

 

At my shop you would get out about 650/750 all garanteed .

 

it saves time and money!

Paid 100 for my header install I was just lazy and it was raining outside that day otherwise I would have done it myself. Do the header install yourself. Pacesetters have the fornt O2 bungs already installed so you could drive it to the exhaust shop it will be loud but just take it easy and you will be fine.
