Default price of install

I just recently got some coated Pacesetter headers and am trying to get these babies installed but it seems a little pricey for doing the install. I am getting pricing from 350-500 for install. I didnt even pay that much for the headers them selves. Is this the normal going rate? I am not able to do the install myself cause I am in south FL right now in college. If anyone knows of a good shop around the orlando and tampa area that is also cheap in prices then please let me know.

Thanks -

Mike

Yes, pacesetters aren't too bad however the driverside is kinda a PITA, you gotta loosen the drivers side motormount and jack up the engine to get the header to slide down. I did it with the heads off and still had to jack the engine.

LS1 headers are easier to install from the bottom. Might have to remove the starter and oil filter but other than that it is pretty easy...just get the car as high off the ground as possible.
