Thats cheap, remember with headers, fitment issues can always pop up. Also having the tools and lift makes it infinitly easier so to me I would expect topay that for stall only. At least in CT and yes shop rates are between 75-110$ per hour.

Default Header/Stall Shop Rate

Newbie 1st post - Labor is the death knoll for those of us who can't DIY. I've saved almost 6k for various parts labor for non Ls1 shops range $90-125. Don't have any buds to call so I'm searching for shops who post on forums like this. $600 almost sounds cheap. Get it in writing. Wet his whistle about your other "Big Plans". I'm in Centreville Va. I plan on paint, headers to dual tips, tires, front and rear suspension, air flow ect. Not looking for power I want performance and handling. Just a thought not a sermon.

easiest way to get those bolts is use an impact wrench with a very long extension to hit the top two bolts.
