Default Is this a good deal?

I can get a set of coated pacesetters and an off road Y pipe for 505.00, NIB.
The install at the shop is 300.00. So 805.00 for everything and the install. What do you think. Can I save any money anywhere else?

I am not familar with current header prices but the install price seems reasonable - header install is a major pain.

I did my headers with the car sitting on jack stands extended all the way and on a stack of 2x12's, 10 ton stands provided from the Army hehehehe, by myself. The car was about 3 1/2 feet in the air and that was a major pain. The install on Pace Setters is really not that hard.

Is it a pain? By your self sure and it took me about an hour just to get my car raised. The install took about 3 hours and alot of cursing and wishing I had one extra set of hands. I did save $325 though, local shop price for the install. Overall it comes down to what you are comfertable doing. 4 hours of work to save $325 was worth it to me.
