I paid $400 for mine to be put on and I got it done at Tuffy. I would have done it myself, but I didn't have the time or the tools. Paying for labor sure is a bitch.

I know that f-body motor sports charges 400 to install headers on a ls1 so im guesing around that .which I think is waaaaaaay too much.

Some people just don't have the time or the tools to do it. Also, some people would rather have someone who knows what they're doing put them on instead of putting them on themselves and damaging something.

your post serves us no purpose. I think we all know that if we want to we can do it ourselves. And as states before not everone has the tools nor the time to do a 3-5 hour header swap. If you want to come and do mine the by all means go ahead until then please either answer the question of the thread or leave it alone.

thanks,
Cameron
