Any auto shop is gonna charge an arm and a leg. I would imagine at least $250 When you and some buddies can take care of it in an afternoon

450-550 is what I was quoted about 2 months ago. Just do it yourself and save the money for a tune.

Nope, that's all you need.

I cut a deal with the shop that did my install. He lowered the price of the dyno tune, and did some extra work for my complete exhaust install.

All you gotta do is talk to the shop, MOST of them will lower prices if you get the work done ALL at the same time....like I did.

~$1000 for installed of headers, ypipe, catback, full custom dyno tune, sold me new slp flo pac, and something else. If I had gotten everything else done there at different times, would have cost nearly $1500 with their labor rates. Not only that, every tune after that one, only cost me $50.

I didn't have the time to do the stuff myself.
