6-8 hours x hourly rate. I think most shops will do $400 for it since it's a 1 shot deal.

Cheers,

I pay me techs $30-40 per billed hour..They are certified and experienced installers,fabricators,and diagnostics..There is no way one of my guys would accept 3 hours labor on a header and cat install..lol
I laugh every time you post that reciept..No disrespect to you..

I got mine installed for $600. But they were the Crawford headers, and it took the shop two days. They've probably raised the price on that job since that time.

i paid $380 with tax. Once they were done (8hours) they said i got a good deal because it was a PITA.

Anywhere from 400-600 is reasonable considering the going rate.
