headers questions

[09SMOKINHEMI]

That's crazy talk. I have a friend that will be helping me do an efan, tc, vb and lt header install, and he said if I were to do it through his shop, he would've charged me $700-$800 plus fluids for installing all of the above

You must be getting the "friend" price. There isn't A shop around here that would do it that cheap. Aamco quoted me 800 just to install the stall 1000 for stall and vb.

What about the auto services listed in your local cl. Some pretty good back yard techs out there.

nope, not the friend price..... i did some research also in the Dallas area for just the torque converter and valvebody install, and a good quality install would run $400 for the tc and vb

there are shops that are quick to give you the shaft. i called a tranny place here just for the tc/vb install, and they wanted to charge $700 plus fluids which is nuts.

I called over 20 different shops in the area and $500 for the install was the cheapest by over $200. I've been calling around for a TC & VB install too, cheapest so far is at $800. Geography matters.

An update on local to me install costs around central FL.

First shop, highly recommended, quoted $800 for the install of the headers alone. I asked if they were kidding.

Second shop, also highly recommended, quoted at $600 for install of the headers, cats & y-pipe.

Third shop said they wouldn't install the headers period.

WTF???

Dodge dealer said if I bought the mopar cat back exhaust they would install the headers off the books along with everything else for $600.

Damn it.

Performance shops around the Chi town area are 100 bucks an hour... That adds up QUICKLY! Modding isn't cheap, but the results can sure be fun!
