Default Terminator bolt ons?

I have a friend who wants me to install full length headers, upper and lower pulleys, wide-band and an x-pipe. I am mechanically inclined but not sure on how many hours i should charge him. I know those headers are gonna be a huge pain but it seems like everything else shouldnt be to bad. Any info is appreciated

maybe 6 hours if you work fast for everything.

are you gonna be doing it yourself? cuz itll be a bitch to do the kmember without someone to help you.

Here's a better question, are you gonna use power tools? If you are using hand tools have fun lol.

Ah, the "famous last words". That ranks right up there with "What could possible go wrong?" and "How hard could it really be?"

Like previously mentioned......Good luck! Because you couldnt pay me to do it!

I say charge him $1000 just for the sheer PITA effect of the whole install.

they dont gain much at all from headers when they still have the eaton from what i have read, most people will just do an x pipe and catback and spend the header money other places. Like a ported blower.
