Default SoCal Header installation shops??

Hey everyone,

I currently have a set of DC stainless steel headers sitting in my room, itching to be installed. I am looking for a mechanic shop or dealership that can install these headers for me.

I've called Performance Nissan of Duarte, and they can install the headers for $475, and this is a 6 hour job. I also installed Stillen, and they refused to install them because I didn't install the headers from them (total BS if you ask me).

Basically, I'm asking if anyone from the SOCAL area has headers installed. If possible, can someone please give me some suggestions on reliable shops, as well as prices (if you had your headers installed from them personally).

Thanks alot guys!!!

$475.00 doesnt sound to bad, thats about 79.00/hr from a Nissan shop. Most shops around here charge 75.00 and they are mom and pop places.

$475 for an install from a shop that will fully stand behind their work and get it out before the end of the day...

nothing to loose...

Unless Stillen headers require some sort of unique installation (lifting the engine), 3.5 hours labor is reasonable.

In the future, is you have a regional question, post in the regional forum for a better response. When you choose a shop, choose one with experience installing 350Z headers. Nothing beats experience.
