Free...Take the time and do it yourself. Then you can use the money you saved on more mods.

You really should do it yourself. It's great knowledge! I just recently put LT's on a buddies LS1. He is so glad he didn't have someone else do it for a ridicoulous amount of money!

He payed me in pizza

Guys not everyone has the time/know-how/tools to undertake this install. You are looking 3-400 because its a pain and most shops dont want to mess with it.

Most shops make reference to a "book" that has the time required to perform work on a car. According to the book, headers on an LT1 is an eight hour job. Depending on how much the shop pays its mechanics an hour, you could be looking at an $800.00 job that'll keep your car overnight--if you're lucky.

To do it yourself... it will be a weekend job. And you're going to need help. Get some friends and a manual.
