Default header install

Hey guys I need some advice. I'm trying to decide wether I should let a friend of mine install my headers or just pay an extra $75 to get them installed at a professional performance shop. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

If the shop is only charging 75 bucks, then go for it.

For $75, hope they know what they are doing. Ave Header install is $300-$500.

Dude, that's awesome! $75.00!! Let them do it, but only if it's people you trust. You should really try and get your hands dirty, just so you can learn a little something out of it, but you can't go wrong for that price. Let us know how it came out
