Default long tube install

Hey fellas,

I have a couple of questions that need addressed.

1.) What is a fair price to install long tubes?
2.) Anyone on this site willing/able to install for $$ ?
3.) Which brand should I go w/.........I'm on a budget, so for now it looks like either Pacesetters (Around $600 for everything shipped) or BBK (About a hundred less)?

I don't have the tools/space to handle the install myself, so let's please not go there haha

Thanks guys,
J

I dont have a great tool set nor the proper space/lighting to work, or else I would.

Wanna help me install them? I'd be happy to buy lunch/dinner and brews, let me know

The tools aren't extensive to buy them, just a socket wrench and a few different socket sizes really. If you do that, pick up a little lamp that you can use under the car to fix your lighting issue. As for space, you don't need a lot of that either, I recommend doing it yourself, it's not too bad. I did it back in May when I was 17 (18 now) and it's pretty straightforward, just getting the old bolts off was a BITCH. Putting the new headers on takes almost no time at all

let's knock out your plugs and wires first, then we'll think long tubes
I'm starting to think I should install them myself...........you up for it? Maybe by next month at the latest

Then when it's your turn, it'll be a piece of cake
