The first time I had headers and ory installed I gave 200 and my old clogged cats to have them installed and welded up. Then the same guy did heads, cam, a new set of 1 7/8 headers, ory, motor mounts, and pulled my transmission for 500.

had mine done for 70$ but thats in middle east. removing your stock exhaust is VERY simple. on the other hand you MIGHT and you might not face problems sliding your long tubes in. in my case, i had to remove starter and linkage as stated above, then both slid right in. id say take a good look before spending that amount of money and see if you can get it done with the help of a friend. good luck!

$200-$300 is fair, any more and your better off doing it yourself. It's very simple with basic tools, floor jack and jack stands. Get a buddy and do them over a 6 pack. Yes I know this thread is 5yrs old.

I paid 700 for the install and 300 for the tune. Im sure it can be done at home on the driveway over a weekend, if it's worth it all depends on how much your time is worth to you.

I paid $355 for headers and Y-pipe. Around $50 for motor mounts. Then after installing it I had to run to the muffler shop cause my I-pipe and Y-pipe merge were not going together well. It gets hard to work on something when the car is not on a lift. Paid the muffler shop $20 to build a coupler and weld it up. So $425 total on my install. The install is not that bad. The MM's really took more time than anything.
