I have done a few sets for 350.00 but I have never done a set of TPIS's before so I relly couldn't say a price for them. This is for a F-Body correct ? I would say 300-500 but who the hell am I <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

The install price for headers on a C5 is much more than an F-body, you're looking in the neighborhood of 800-1000 bucks for a shop install.

Moving to the external section...

$800 to $1000 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Dont know who your going to, but the local Pontiac dealer here is only charging 350 for install on a C5. They do happen to run a race shop(ASA) on the side, but didnt think the differences would be that extreme.

If someone quoted me 1000, you could bet I would never set foot in that shop again.

Later,

I have done a headers on a C5 and it was a lot easier than the 4th gen F-bodies I have done. $1000 is a joke. I wouldn't even pay $350 but that is because I know the job isn't hard it is only time consuming. You don't even need any special tools.
