Looking to Pay Someone to Intall my Longtube Headers Just ordered a set of PaceSetters for my 05 GTO. I was going to attempt to do it, but it seems to be a little too much. They are PaceSetter LT's with catted mids. Is there anybody in the Jersey area that has experience with this sort of thing? I am willing to pay a fair amount. Send me a PM if interested. I would like to have it done by the first week of September the latest.

I have done some pricing around with local shops (Cartek, Rocksand Racing, ECS, Diablo Formula). Righ now Diablo Formulas price is well below the competition's price (around 25-35% less). I still have a lot of homework to do because even though they have a very low price, I hate putting 300 miles on the goat in a single trip. Tomorrow I am going to check with a few reputable muffler shops and go from there.
Thanks for all your help! I Couldn't start a thread like this over on ls1GTO without starting a shop war.

Just make sure you take it to someone who has a good reputation with LSx Vehicles.
Sounds like Fran might be willing to price match. You can't go wrong with that deal.

Just sent Fran a PM. Even though shops are willing to price match, distance also plays a factor because I hate racking up mileage. If Fran can do it for the price I asked, consider it a done deal.

I would take it to Slowhawk or Fran whoever is closest to you. They both are known for exceeding the customers expectations. The car woud benefit from a tune after anyways so they can take care of that too.

I am located in Central NJ. I was planning on doing a dyno tune sometime after I replaced the intake manifold during the winter. I think I am going to have Cartek do the dyno tune.

I can't really see it being to hard for any normal shop to do there's so much space under a GTO's hood you could pretty much unbolt with no problem an slap them on with in the hour. The tune would be a must though seems like these cars pick up power with such easy mods after a tune.
