Default Test pipe install $$?

is 100 bucks alot to install test pipes which are bolt on or more if fabrication is needed (technosquare)? If so, does anyone know a shop around long beach that installs it cheaper? Would do it myself but i have no tools whatsoever..

yea stopped going there after my header install cause it was so damn much and took the whole day. After it was done they charged me an extra 100 bucks and I found out in the morning that they had dented my stock hood. Hope that doesnt happen again.....

putting in tps is a *****, getting up there and having the armstrength to get the bolts out is tough to do the first time loostening the bolts from stock setting! $40 is a damn steal if they will do it, thats a great price, where is that place (signal) ?

How much did they charge u for the header install last time u went there? Maybe that's why they charge u $40 for the TP's cause they know they already charge u too damn much for the header before no??
