Default BBK Headers and Y-Pipe

Hello, just got a question about BBK ceramic coated headers and off-road Y-pipe. My buddy says he'll do it for 900.00(600.00 parts and 300.00 labor) which I think is fair. But my question is, will I pass smog if he said I won't have any cats. I know he'll adjust my computer for it but do they check when I go in for a smog test. My last Camaro SS I had them gute the cats and I still had the O2 sensors. Thanks!

That seems like a lot for just headers and y pipe. Labor seems fine id say more like 250. Or is he going to make sure it goes on to exhaust as well like weld it etc? Or what kind of aftermarket exhaust to you have or you running the stock one?

I just got a Magnaflow exhaust last month(P/N 12266). I'll check other shops here in Vegas. Thanks!

Them headers include the ORY & they're not $600, they're $500 tops! Might find em on sale for $4-450. Theyre good entry level headers, easy to work with lots of room i had a set & upgraded to 1 7/8.

Copy, I just got a quote from a local shop here in vegas and they want 800 + for OBX headers and 800.00 in labor! That's not including 30.00 shipping and tax. I would like to tell you the store name but you can search who uses OBX products. I couldn't believe when he quoted me that price! Very sad that shops would do that to people. Anyway, enough of that, I'm going to have my buddy do this. Thanks!!

Just checked the ceramic BBKs they've went up a lil. Best price i seen on ebay was $529 obo free shipping. That's insane how much they want for OBX! For $1600 you could step up to some kooks or ARH & have em installed for that lol!

Yes, I was very disappointed with that. I'm moving on and not worth my time with that. I'm glad to have friends! Thanks man!

Dude.. why not just do it yourself? I mean if you don't have the tools that's one thing but $300 is kind of a lot to take headers off and put new ones on.

Don't let people take advantage of you. I wouldn't pay a penny above $250 for labor. It's not rocket science.
