Default how much did it cost you to have a shop put on headers back?

Im going with dual x. im trying to decide if i should try to put the headers in myself, or just take it to a shop and have them do everything. i dont have the best tools but im sure i could do it but it would take me a while. What was the cost for those that had them install everything? I have the headers and mufflers, thats it.

I'm putting my headers on myself too. For headers alone at a shop I was quoted 8 hours at $65/hour plus tax

I'd expect to pay $300 or more. Even if it took them 2hrs it sounds like a "good" quote.
You might consider motor mounts as well.

My setup cost: Removal old exhaust..Installed LTs, motor mounts, Torque arm, Panhard rod for $635. Installed TSP TDs ran out the back for 112$ (which I couldn't beleive). But I sold my catback and cats for 200$.

I have thurs-sat off every week. I am comfortable with that price and that would be a nice drive some day. I should be getting these headers in the mail soon. Do you do the exhaust work too? i was hoping for over the axle stainless duals. Like i said all I have is the mufflers and headers.
