Try doing a search. This question gets asked regularly. The kind of responses you can expect to find/get: $250-$450, depends on who does it and where you bought the headers from. You are better off doing it yourself. It's not that hard and you can buy all that you will need to do it for less than you would pay to have it done. That way you end up saving money and gaining tools and experience.

PS: Do not expect to do it in four hours. If you have never done anything like that before and you take your carefull time, it can take awhile. I do'nt want to say how long it took me, but it was no five hour job!

I would say do it yourself, there is nothing hard about installing headers, the headers go in pretty easy I did mine in a little over 4 hours and that was the first time I did headers.

DO NOT pay to have shorties installed. they are so easy you'll be kicking yourself in the *** for not doing it. simply unbolt the old manifolds from the heads, remove them from the Y, remove your air system for more clearance and drop them in from the top.

I forgot you were talking about shorties. (not worth the money, IMO, but i'm sure you have your reasons) Shorties will be cake. Dont have to move as much crap out of the way.

Depending on the year of your car, you may not see any gains with shorties.
