Default T/A Header Install

How long would ya'll say it takes to install both headers (1 3/4 primaries)? The shop near me uoted me at a low $600 for install which seems a little high based on what others I work with said and the cost to install their headers on their f body's.

It only took me a few hours in my garage to install them. It is a simple job. It actually took me longer to take the stock exhaust off than to install the new.

The headers aren't hard at all but the motor mounts are a different story...
