    So I want to get my headers put on but this shop wants 455 dollars to do it... I have everything for the job (gaskets, bolts, ext..) Is this a reasonable price? Btw 07 prix gt s/c.

    Let me know what you guys spent to get them on and what you think of this quote


    Thanks!

    Well I bought then already. Doesn't matter the brand, they are stainless steel, direct fit, and have huge primaries with a 3" down pipe. Just need to know if headers I general ate hard to install outer if its worth 300-500 to get installed

    Shoot DanThurs a pm. He's in WI and installs.

    Figure headers will take about 4-6 hours to install. Do it right and make it pretty ... 6 hours.
