Most places have pretty much the same charges for labor...got mine done at RPM....but there are a lot of gear heads here who im sure can do it right, for cheap.

hey, danny from the meet (the one with the badass TA with that hood you want) sent me a message to give to you.

"Hey tell Abram I can lower the fan turn on temps if he would like. His 95 is OBDI with an OBDII plug under the dash. I have the right cable and Tunercat since I converted to OBDI so it's no problem. Danny"

his username on here is quicksilver383

also, bout the headers...you can take it into the dealership. i thought they offered a fair price. theres also LGMotorsports, they are a sponsor on here. See what they would charge. I know i'm gonna take my Z to them to get it tuned after H/C

Unless you do it yourself or have a good friend who can do it, here's my input. You can get it done right, or you can get it done cheap, but you can't get both.

Your looking atleast 300 on labor, if you dont like that, do it your self. It's a bit of work, but if it isnt done right, your in for a ton of hassle and problems down the line

Yea i want it done right so i called around to some places, gear heads in arlington said they would do it for around 375 to 400 and i called thornhill here in waxahachie and they charge 375 but they charge me extra for any cutting or welding that needs to be done. Joseph how much did they charge you?

thornhill charged me more than 375 but thats because i had them weld the catback on and that was tricky since it was used and i also got an oil change and fluids check and had them change my spark plugs and wires so there was more labor
