Try calling shops in your area. If they cant do it, they can give you a recommendation. You are looking at appx 2k parts and install. Its a pretty easy swap. Did mine in the garage on jack stands over a weekend. Save yourself about half the cost.

I paid $200 for my pacesetters headers. I got a good deal but that's not the point. I paid A local to do mine he charged me $200

That's what I was thinking!! You can order that set up for under 500 bucks I believe? The no install charge on yourself! After that all you need is O2 extensions and call it a day! Then a tune if you want your check engine light off due to the front O2 not being hooked up.

oops! I forgot Pacesetters were so cheap. I was thinking like Stainless works. I have Hedman stainless myself. In a shop you are looking at like 8 hours minimum.
Advice? Read the install guides and print out what you need as a reference. Plan for it to take longer than you expect. Dont get stressed out over it. Ask a friend for help? Stage 8 locking fasteners rule btw!
