Default Header Install?

I was interested in buying the flowtech longtube headers and ory.. I was wondering how much instalation would be at a shop. I have an 01 Formula so i'm hoping to see some good gains... guess we'll see.
Thanks

Save the $$ and do it yourself. It is not that hard.

Not hard just take your time. Took awhile the first time, second time I had the stock ones off in 30 min. Flow techs on my cousins 00 fit well, better than mine! Beer helps as well!

yah i did my pacesetters by myself with the exception of piecing together the ypipe towards the end, I'm by far no mechanic but easy stuff like exhaust can/should be tackled by a novice. Check out my sig for install notes to see how much work it would be to get it done...it really isnt that hard.

To answer your question: anywhere from $250-$350, depending on where you are and who does it, is reasonable.

To give advice: do what they said, install them yourself. I installed mine, it's not too hard. For what you'd pay someone to do it you can buy tools if you don't have them (or use it as excuse to get more!), do it yourself, learn, and still have money left over vs paying someone to do it. There are several very good install documents you can find online. If you do it just read over all the install docs you can till you know what/where everything is and what you need to do. If you get stuck you can always come to the boards for help.
