Do it yourself man! I'm not gonna lie I'm a total noob and I installed a pair of Hooker ceramic longtubes and off road Y in about 6 hours and did my spark plugs while I was at it. Just take your time and follow the instructions!

i would try it yourself 1st but if you dont have the time or space i called around and got quotes from $200-$600 bucks the higher ones of course saying that they would have to replace all the o2's etc

No Im definantly capable of doing my own work. I did my heads, cam, nitrous work on my Vette but a old buddy asked me to put his headers on and I was curious how much to charge

Well at $90-$100 per labor hour you're looking at $450-$500 for the install. Exhaust shops may be different I've seen some with flat rates of $300-$400

i think $300 is a fair price. thats what i paid from a shop, but the owner is a pretty good friend.
